CLIP AND SAVE.

DON'T LET
SUMMER FOOL YOU...
Too hot for the heater? Think again.

S

ummer can be deceiving when it comes
to energy usage. Remember, you're using gas
year round - not just in the winter. Consider

kitchen, the dishwasher, washing machine and dryer,
as well as the stove, oven and grill. All these appliances use energy too.
Don't get caught off guard.
