With gasoline prices coming down this spring and the open road calling, maybe you can take that vacation after all. Before leaving on your adventure, especially if you plan to be gone for a couple weeks, make a checklist of ways to cut your power bill while away.

Start by looking at the temperature settings for your home’s interior. Heating and cooling a house accounts for approximately 43 percent of the average household’s utility bill. Here you can make adjustments and reap the greatest savings.

Even though summer temperatures in Clark County and Western Washington are not extreme, energy experts at Clark Public Utilities say for every degree you raise the inside air conditioning thermostat temperature, you’ll save between 1 percent and 2 percent on the cooling portion of your electric bill.
