    MLGW wants you to know about energy-saving practices that you can follow during the Spring and Summer seasons. Click below to find out some of the easiest ways to stay comfortable and save...

  • Set the thermostat at 78 degrees or higher for the most energy efficient operation. Each degree below this setting adds 6% to your cooling costs.

  • Use fans to move the air inside your home. This gives the sensation that it is 5 degrees cooler than the actual temperature.

  • Shade windows on the sunny side of your home. Keep drapes closed or add room-darkening shades to block out the heat from the sun.

  • Use your programmable thermostat to automatically increase the temperature setting at bedtime. Sleep under lightweight bedding and use fans during sleep. You will sleep comfortably with less cooling.

  • Install energy-efficient appliances.
