Hot weather often goes hand in hand with higher energy bills. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

OUC wants to help you save money, for when the heat is ON this season.

Here’s the thing: When temperatures rise, your air conditioning runs twice as long as it does in the cooler months, to keep your house at the same temperature. This can result in a higher-than-normal bill.

Here are some tips from OUC, to help you save money and energy this summer -- while still keeping cool, of course.


1. Set your thermostat to 78 degrees.
