We’re right around the corner from the 4th of July and that means more than grilling and fireworks. It also means cranking up the AC for the hottest days of the season when electricity rates<\/a> are rising. For many families, it also means facing some of the biggest Ohio energy<\/a> bills of the year! But you can cut down costs and save a little money by making some easy smart energy choices. Here are seven fast and easy tips to save more this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohio Hot Summer & Energy Use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ohio families use an average of 811 kilowatt-hours<\/a> (kWh) per month. Also, about 12% of energy used in most US homes<\/a> goes straight to air conditioning. That means Ohio spends an average of nearly 100 kWh per month just to stay cool and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this year, NOAA predicts that Ohio will see a hotter-than-normal summer<\/a>. That means AC units are running sooner and longer, and that means bigger bills in July and August. On top of that, utility PTC rates<\/a> are on the rise, which means even HIGHER bills than normal. That’s why it’s important to start saving energy<\/a> around the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
