Summer heat in Georgia can drive up your energy use, but a few small changes can help keep costs down. Try these easy ways to stay cool and save:
1. Seal Air Leaks
Check around windows, doors and vents for drafts. Sealing gaps with caulk or weatherstripping helps keep cool air in and hot air out, reducing energy waste and keeping your home more comfortable.
2. Cook Smarter
Avoid using your oven on hot days – it heats up your home and makes your AC work harder. Try grilling outside or preparing no-cook meals to keep things cool indoors.
3. Keep the Sun Out
Close blinds or curtains during peak sunlight hours to block out heat and reduce strain on your air conditioner. Blackout curtains work especially well for rooms with direct sun exposure.
Small changes like these can lead to real savings over time. At Walton Gas, we’re here to help you make the most of your energy all summer.
