Beat the Heat Without Breaking the Bank | Washington DC News

A major heatwave is hitting over 230 million people before the Fourth of July, with temps soaring into the 100s—so staying cool without breaking the bank is key. The Department of Energy shares smart tips: close windows during the day, open them at night, use fans for wind-chill effect (turn them off when leaving), and set your thermostat wisely. For central air, regular maintenance keeps systems running efficiently. Small appliance tweaks like covering pots and checking fridge seals also save energy. Stay cool, stay smart.
