Energy Efficiency Tip

Warmer temps are on the way!

Make sure your ceiling fans are set for the season

In spring and summer months, set your ceiling fans to turn in the counterclockwise direction. This will create a cool breeze. Remember: Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. Turn them off when you leave the room.
