Energy savings for summer

  • Set your air conditioning thermostat as high as comfortably possible.
  • Install white window shades, drapes, or blinds to reflect heat away from the house.
  • Caulking and weather-stripping will keep cool air in during the summer.
  • Closing air conditioning vents in unoccupied rooms may save up to 10% on your cooling costs.
  • Install awnings on south-facing windows.  Apply sun-control or other reflective films on south-facing windows.

Call First, Dig Later

   If you are planning to do any type of digging, Nishnabotna Valley REC reminds you to always call Iowa One Call at least 48 hours in advance. It's as easy as calling 811, and it's toll free.  The underground lines will be marked with paint and/or flags.  Please note:  The REC does NOT mark underground lines on the member's side of the service through Iowa One Call.
