Ashlyn Myers How to cut energy costs this summer Summer is a season of rest and re- laxation. Warm air and abundant sun- shine often inspire a laid back feel- ing that lasts until the leaves begin to fall off the trees in early autumn. But summer also can be hard on home- owners, particularly in regard to their monthly energy bills. As summer heats up, energy bills may rise right along with the mer- cury in the backyard thermome- ter. Warmer temperatures outside compel many people to rely more and more on their air conditioners, leading to a spike in energy bills. Fortunately, there are ways to low- er summertime energy bills with- out sacrificing comfort on hot days and nights. • Upgrade your insulation. Peo- ple who own their homes can con- duct an inspection of their homes' insulation to see if it can be up- graded. Direct Energy, which pro- vides energy to more than four mil- lion home and business customers across North America, recommends sealing any drafts around windows or doors with weather stripping or spray foam. Sealing drafts can en- sure cool air stays inside the home on hot days, potentially preventing homeowners from having to run their air conditioners on full blast to keep their homes cool. • Upgrade your thermostat. Homeowners who don't already have a smart thermostat can in- stall one to help lower their ener- gy costs. The Alliance to Save Ener- gy notes that such thermostats can help homeowners optimize their homes' energy usage. Smart ther- mostats allow homeowners to con- trol the climate in their homes re- motely while also showing home- owners their energy consumption in real time. Smart thermostats can show homeowners just how long it takes to cool a home, allowing homeowners to keep their air condi- tioners off while no one is home but still ensuring the home is comfort- able, and that no energy was need- lessly wasted to make it so, when they arrive home at night. • Reconsider how you use your appliances. Bankrate.com notes that washing machines and dish- washers consume the same amount of water and energy whether these appliances are full or not. Wait to use washing machines and dish- washers until you have full loads. This provides more bang for your buck. In addition, hand-dry dish- es and hang clothes on a backyard clothesline to save even more ener- gy. Energy costs tend to rise when summer hits full swing. But a few simple measures can help home- owners cut costs without sacrific- ing comfort. Color guard bake sale The Pike Central Brigade Color Guard bake sale was Saturday morning at German American Bank, in Petersburg. Kena Cannon, Ivory Jackson and Max Goslee drew attention to the event by twirling their flags and holding up a sign.
