Despite calls to conserve power, California's energy demands are at an all-time high.
Set your air conditioning at 78 or higher. If you can turn it off and use a fan instead, even better. You can pre-cool your house to 72 in the morning hours when there is lower demand on the power system, then when you set it to 78 in the afternoon, it won’t be quite as unbearable.
Unplug “energy vampires” -- those appliances that are sucking power from the grid even when they are not being used, like a microwave oven, and phone chargers.Wait until the early morning or late evening hours to run the washing machine or dishwasher, or vacuum.For those lucky enough to have a pool, do your part by turning off your pool pump.
