Turning Down the Air is Hot

Like my father, I used to love the heat. I could wait until at least July until I turned on the air. However, the older I've gotten, the earlier the air comes on, especially in the hot, humid south (and I thought no place was more humid than KC!)

The Green Year advises us to turn the thermostat up to at least 76 degrees to help conserve electricity and the environment. As well, you know it will save you some energy $$ this summer. Give it a shot, I am. Jodi Helmer reports in The Green Year that if every American household turned their thermostat up by just 6 degrees, we could save 190,000 barrels of oil PER DAY!
