4-County Electric Power Association shares tips on managing energy cost
SUMMARY: Hot and humid weather in the Southeast can lead to high electric bills, but there are ways to manage energy costs. Lower energy usage equals a lower bill and conserving energy during extreme temperatures benefits everyone, as the Tennessee Valley Authority only has a certain amount of power available. Running the thermostat up to 78 degrees can save roughly 3% on power bills, and avoiding power usage during peak times can keep the home cooler. Other tips include sealing cracks, using LED light bulbs, and changing air filters regularly. For more energy-saving tools and tricks, visit the 4-County Electric Power Association website.
