National Grid Energy Efficiency Tips
Manage Energy Costs This Summer with National Grid's Energy Efficiency Tips
▶Adjust thermostats. Setting a thermostat to a higher, reasonable temperature while at home and adjusting it even higher when away from home can help save energy. Lowering the thermostat below the desired setting will not cool a home faster and may result in unnecessary energy consumption.
▶Run fans with air conditioning. Oscillating or box fans near air conditioning vents can improve cold air flow throughout a room.
▶Close window coverings. Ambient sunlight can heat a room. Turning off unused lighting and drawing window blinds to reduce heat will keep air conditioning from running more than needed.
▶Charge electric vehicles overnight. Shifting electric vehicle charging to overnight hours can earn customers off-peak charging rewards and reduce stress on the grid.
