Since many of us will be soaking up the Florida sunshine while “staycationing” this summer, here are some tips to make your time at home as energy efficient as possible during one of the hottest months of the year.

    #1. Become a grill master

    Consider barbecuing outside instead of using the oven or stove to help keep your kitchen cool.

  • #2. Take a swim in savings

    Keep your pool clean and you may reduce your pool pump's run time to save up to $100 per year. Limit your use to six hours or less per day. Now throw in your favorite float tube, play some tunes and take a dip in the pool!

#4. Keep costs down

Use a fan to keep cool so you can raise your thermostat even higher.

#5. Stay cool as a cucumber
