Save money in your energy bill, here are a few tips:

According to Kissimmee Utility Authority, Monday's power consumption spiked 21 percent versus last Monday.

To keep your energy bill low, KUA suggests:

  • Set the thermostat on the highest comfortable setting (KUA recommends 78-80 degrees)
  • Use oscillating and ceiling fans instead of lowering the thermostat.
  • Close blinds, shades or drapes during the hottest part of the day.
  • Clean or replace filters in your window air conditioning unit monthly.
  • Remember window A/C units are only designed to cool one room at a time.
