Save energy, stay cool – and go green this summer

How to stay cool, save energy – and some cash!  It can be easier than you think to make a few small changes that have real effect on your energy use and bills!

Whew!  No way to skirt this issue:  Arizona gets hot in the summer.  Dry heat?  Well, sure, but so’s the heat inside your oven! 

Keeping cool during our summers takes a lot of energy.  It’s expensive, too.  Energy costs for an Arizona home of around 2,000 square feet can run as much as $200 to $300 a month between June and September.
