1. Open those windows!
Opening windows is an incredibly easy way to save energy and money. 
Evenings allow cooler air into your home so consider keeping them
 slightly open overnight.

2. Ceiling Fans > Air Conditioner
Ceiling fans use much less electricity (and cost much less to operate!)
than air conditioners.

3. Install a programmable thermostat
Programmable thermostats allow you to turn down your air conditioner at
cooler times of day.This simple trick will help keep your temperature, energy
usage and costs down!

4. Get planting! 
Did you know? People living specifically in rural areas can save more on 
energy costs by planting trees and shrubs as windbreaks & shade trees. Deciduous
south side trees provide shades in the summer while Confucius north side trees
provide protection in the winter… Incredible!!

5.Stop by your local store & pick up an awning or an overhang
These simple tools will help keep that sun out of the house & make sure your 
house keeps cool!
