PSE&G reminds customers to prepare for the extended heat wave and offers safety and savings tips
 
PSE&G advises that they have sufficient electric capacity to meet projected electric peak demand during the extended heat wave and is sharing safety and savings tips for customers to cope with the heat and stay safe.
 
During extreme heat conditions, residents should:
 
- Seek out air-conditioned spaces, if possible, if homes become too warm.
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol.
- Avoid wearing dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays.
- Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles.
- Avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day, which is between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
 
Residents can save money when they:
 
- Raise the setting to the highest comfortable temperature. You can save 3 to 5% on air conditioning costs for each degree you raise the temperature. We recommend 78 degrees.
- If you have central air, close doors and vents to unused rooms to reduce the area your system must cool, so your system does not have to work as hard.
- Use ceiling and other fans to provide additional cooling and better circulation.
- Seal holes and cracks around doors and windows with caulk or weather-stripping to keep cool air in and warm air out.
- Operate appliances in the morning or evening when it is cooler outside.
