Energy Saving Tips - Beat the Humidity



In many areas of the Northeast the humidity has been bad this summer.   Often people use their air conditioning more to remove the dense moisture from the air and cool the temperature in the house.  Here are some energy saving tips to cut down on your summer electric bill.

  • Make sure your clothes dryer vents to the outdoors.
  • Avoid line drying your clothes indoors to prevent more moisture being absorbed into the air. 
  • Cover pots when cooking.
  • If you have a crawl space under your house, make sure the ground is covered with a moisture barrier.
  • Use an exhaust fan in your kitchen and bathroom.
  • If you do not have an exhaust far,  use a window fan on the exhaust setting.
  • Improve the drainage around your house - have your gutters move the water away from the foundation of your home.
  • Repair any leaking faucets (and save on your water bill too!)
Stay cool and keep your bills slow with these energy saving tips and choosing IDT Energy as your energy supplier
