As the summer heat intensifies, Texas Gas Service is offering tips to help residents save money and energy. In El Paso, Texas, the company is encouraging people to manage their household energy costs by taking simple steps.
Summer Energy Savings Tips
One tip is to change the direction of your fan to spin counter-clockwise, which will push the air down toward you. Additionally, sealing doors and windows can help keep cool air within your home. Dusting your vents frequently is also recommended.
Texas Gas Service suggests running dryers, dishwashers, and other large appliances after dark to reduce the stress on your cooling system. Upgrading to high-efficiency natural gas appliances can also help keep you cool while saving money. A low-flow showerhead can reduce water and energy use.
