August Energy Tip:  If your home has single-pane windows, consider replacing them with new energy efficient double-pane windows with high-performance glass (e.g., low-e).

July Energy Tip: If you use air-conditioning, set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible in the summer. The less difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower your overall cooling bill will be. This tip is brought to you by the U.S. Department of Energy and ISU Extension.

June Energy Tip: Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and hard braking) wastes gas. It can lower your highway gas mileage 33 percent and city mileage 5 percent. This tip is brought to you by the U.S. Department of Energy and ISU Extension.
