Tuesday Tip! 🔥 Grill outside instead of using the oven.

Skip the oven and fire up the grill this summer! Cooking outside keeps your home cooler and your AC from working overtime, saving energy in the process.

Grilling is also a smart move when a Peak Alert is called. it's one of the easiest ways to reduce your energy use during peak demand hours.
