HOT HOT HOT

Man, it's hot out there!

It's over 100* here. And that cooling bill can get out of control with weather this hot.

My neighbor just told me that his cooling bill was over $300 last month - OUCH!

Mine was $127 (that includes water & other electricity used like the stove, microwave, lights, tv, etc.) And I thought that was high!

If you've got the sun beating down on your windows pull the shades closed on those windows & leave them open on the sides of the house that don't have the sunlight directly beating down on it.

It's surprising how much cooler this makes my living room & kitchen feel (they get sun during the hottest part of the day).
