With heat advisories in effect for parts of Louisiana amid the hot summer months, energy companies are sharing some tips to help their customers reduce their energy consumption.
Cooling
Set thermostat to 78 degrees or higher, if possible. Cleco recommends a smart thermostat because it will automatically adjust the temperature according to the scheduled temperature settings.
Use a fan to help a room feel 10 degrees cooler but remember that fans cool people, not rooms. So, turn off fans when not in a room.
