With temperatures in Sacramento heading toward the triple digits, we want to help you stay safe and comfortable at home. You can keep your cool by pre-cooling your house before the heat really sets in, and please remember to check in on any older neighbors, family, or friends who might live alone or need a little extra help staying cool.
☀️ Keep the heat out by closing your shades during the day and using fans to circulate the air (just remember to turn them off when you leave the room!).
☀️ Skip the oven and use small appliances like a microwave or air fryer instead, they’re easier to keep cool and actually use about 66% less energy than a conventional oven.
