Summer in New England means trips to the beach, hikes in the mountains, neighborhood pool parties, and air conditioners working to keep our indoor spaces cool and comfortable.
Here are some simple tips to ensure you're using energy as efficiently as possible during the warm summer months, so you can enjoy the season to its fullest!
Smart and programmable thermostats can help you control your air conditioning more effectively. These units are easy to install and can automatically adjust the temperature according to the schedule you program.
According to Energy Star®, smart thermostats can save up to 8% on an energy bill by using sensors and automation to adjust to your habits and the changing weather. Programmable thermostats are not responsive to weather or occupant behavior, but can still generate savings. Massachusetts customers may be eligible for a rebate via Mass Save.
