 With record-setting heat in the forecast across our region this week, Idaho Power is working to keep you cool and connected. These extreme temperatures can be hard on summer energy bills, so here are some tips to help keep you cool while reducing your energy use. If comfort allows, turn your home or office thermostat up a few degrees so the AC is not working quite so hard. Use a ceiling or box fan to feel up to 4 degrees cooler, but remember to switch the fans off when you leave the room.
