Cool Down Without Breaking the Bank | Dover News

Beat the heat without breaking the bank—set your thermostat to 78°F for the sweet spot, or bump it up to 82°F while sleeping. For pets, cap it at 80°F; when you’re away, crank it to 85°F to slash costs. Smart thermostats and zone cooling keep energy waste low. Block heat with blinds, avoid using ovens/dryers midday, and use fans right—counterclockwise for maximum airflow. Ceiling fans can let you raise your thermostat 4°F and save up to 30%. Don’t forget to clean blades and turn off fans when rooms are empty. And zap “vampire energy” by unplugging devices, using power strips, and switching to LEDs—all to keep more cash in your pocket.
