Filed under: Economizer, House & Home, Saving

Keep The House Cool Cranking the air conditioner and having the freezer door open regularly for Freezies is becoming more of a necessity and less of a luxury lately given the slew of hot days in Canada. Sure, it's great relief from a potential heat stroke but what about the bills?

For central Canada, the average temperature so far this month has been 30.7 Celcius with a high of 36.3 Celcius. In short, summer is here, and while temperatures are soaring, it doesn't mean your electricity bill has to do the same.

This is where Direct Energy's Dave Walton cones into play. Walton is the man for home ideas - and he's got five tips to help save money and beat the heat.

Build with ICF (Styrofoam and concrete) blocks and you will not need any AC. My house stays at 72-74F without using a single watt of electricity.

The Trick to saving electricity is to use less of it. Use efficient appliances. My home uses on average 450 Watts per hour. My home has also been off grid for 12 years!

They forgot one. Tell the Electric Companies to stop jacking up the rates.
