Park Forest, IL–(ENEWSPF)– I was skeptical when I opened the Commonwealth Edison Summer Energy Kit which recommended pre-cooling the home “for savings.” Why the skepticism? ComEd recommends lowering the thermostat all the way down between 69° F and 72° F. That seemed a bit chilly to me. Generally, at night, I had taken to turning the thermostat up a bit and using a fan to stay cool. However, in the middle of the afternoon, particularly during the hours of 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., our home was warm, and the air conditioner ran often.
