Stay Cool Without Breaking the Grid | Newark News

New Jersey’s sweltering heat wave is sending electricity bills skyrocketing as everyone turns up the AC. Utilities are urging smart habits: keep blinds shut, use ceiling fans strategically, and run big appliances early or late to ease grid strain. Surprisingly, raising your thermostat when you’re away saves massive energy—cooling to 75 when it’s 95 uses three times more power than cooling to 85. With demand surging, outages are a real risk. Stay cool, stay smart, and help keep the lights on for everyone. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
