• Set your thermostats no lower than 78 degrees
• Turn off appliances and equipment when you are not using them
• Shut off lights when you leave a room
• Turn off lights in unused areas
• Close drapes and blinds to keep out direct sunlight during hot periods
• Avoid using evaporative coolers or humidifiers at the same time an A/C is running
• Operate your swimming pool equipment and energy-intensive appliances only during early morning and evening hours
