Energy Saving Ways to Keep Cool

Trying to have a hot girl summer without spending that daunting summer electricity fee? Here are some simple ways you can keep your cool while saving your wallet and the planet. Utilizing natural ventilation and turning fans counterclockwise to bring cool air inside your home are great alternatives to running that AC unit all day.

Simple acts like closing the blinds and windows can minimize heat seeping into your home. Remember to also turn off your AC when you’re not at home, or invest in smart home products to help you live more sustainably.
