While the seasons in Kentucky can be unpredictable, Kentuckians can count on some hot summer days. How can families beat the summer heat without overspending? Consider these simple and inexpensive tips to help save both energy and money this summer.

Keep air conditioning units in good working condition. Clean or change filters regularly so units operate efficiently.

In the summer, set the thermostat as high as comfortable when you are home and even higher when you are not. Lower the thermostat setting to 78 degrees only when you are home and need cooling. Think about investing in a programmable thermostat to automatically adjust settings to save on energy costs.

Ceiling fans, table and floor fans generate air flow that make room temperatures feel cooler than they actually are. Using a ceiling fan enables one to raise thermostat settings about 4 degrees before comfort levels are affected. Remember that fans help people feel cooler and do not lower the room temperature, so save energy by turning off fans in unoccupied rooms or homes.

Windows that face east and west will get the most direct sunlight during the day. Close blinds and drapes to block the heat of the summer sun and keep indoor spaces cooler.

Take advantage of natural ventilation on cool, breezy nights. Turn off the air conditioning and open a few windows. Use a circulating fan for added comfort. Be sure to close the windows and window treatments when you wake in the morning to keep the cooler air inside as the day temperatures rise.

Reduce the use of appliances and electronics that generate heat. For example, use dishwashers for full loads only and consider using the dishwasher’s non-heated cycle for drying. Grill outdoors or use a microwave oven rather than heating up conventional ovens for baking or broiling. Unplug electronics when not in use.

Only 10-15 percent of the electricity that traditional incandescent light bulbs use produces light—the rest is turned into heat. Replace incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) or light emitting diodes (LED). Not only are CFL and LED bulbs cooler and more energy efficient, they typically last longer and save you money in the long run.

If you must replace one or more appliances this summer, always look for the ENERGY STAR® label. Appliances with this logo exceed minimum federal standards for quality and energy efficiency.

Summer is the time for gardens and grilling! Outdoor grilling is a great way to spend time with family and friends and a healthy way to prepare food. Any food that can be roasted can also be cooked on a grill.

When we think of grilling, we usually think of meat and poultry. Meat and poultry cooked on the grill can brown very fast on the outside. It is important to use a meat thermometer to make sure the food has reached a safe internal temperature. Poultry should be heated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Ground meat should reach 160 degrees F and beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops need to be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Cook all cuts of pork to 160 degrees F. A thermometer is the only way to be sure that meat has reached the recommended safe internal temperature. Never partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later.

Grilling Kentucky’s fresh vegetables is great way to bring their flavor to a whole new level. From asparagus to zucchini, many vegetables are excellent choices for the grill. For the best success when grilling vegetables, use medium heat and a marinade or oil coating to keep them from sticking. Vegetables that contain more water, such as peppers or mushrooms, will cook quicker than thicker root vegetables such as potatoes. Vegetables are done when they are fork tender.

Here are some tips for safe food handling when grilling:

Wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food.

To prevent foodborne illness, do not use the same dish, cutting board or utensils for raw and cooked foods.

Marinate foods in the refrigerator. Do not reuse marinade that has been in contact with meat unless it has been boiled.

Refrigerate all food until you are ready to grill.

Do not allow food to set out for more than 1 hour in the summer heat above 90 degrees.

Keep hot food hot until served. Grilled food can be kept hot until serving by moving it to the side of the grill rack, away from the heat to avoid over cooking.

While too much heat can be dangerous at any age, many factors make older adults more susceptible to heat-related health problems including decreased ability to adjust to sudden changes in temperature, chronic medical conditions that change the body’s reaction to heat and medications that affect the body’s ability to control temperature and/or sweat. Health problems can range from muscle cramps, nausea, headaches and dizziness to more serious problems such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat stroke, a potentially life-threatening condition that requires medical attention is the most severe consequence of overheating. It is important to recognize the symptoms of overheating:

Sudden dizziness

Fatigue

Lack of coordination

Cold, clammy skin

Thirst

Headache

Nausea

Muscle spasms and/or cramps

Ankle swelling The signs of heat stroke should not be taken lightly. If you experience, high body temperature, confusion, changes in behavior, fainting (or feeling like you are going to), staggering, rapid or weak pulse, dry or flushed skin or lack of sweating despite the heat, you should seek emergency assistance immediately.

To help protect yourself from the heat, the CDC recommends:

Stay in airconditioned buildings

Hydrate with water, fruit or vegetable juices (and don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink)

Avoid caffeine and alcohol

Keep your house cool by avoiding turning on the stove and oven and cover widows that are in direct sunlight

Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing

Take cool showers or baths to cool down

Avoid exercising in the heat of the day

Listen to the weather forecast so you know to avoid the outdoors Be sure to keep a close eye on older family members or neighbors by visiting them on hot days and noting if the person is doing the right things to stay cool. Always encourage hydration and access to air conditioning. If you see, signs of heat stress, seek medical attention immediately. References: CDC. (2017). Heat and Older Adults.
