Flip the Switch on Summer: KPUB’s Cool-Down Checklist for Hot Days Ahead ☀️
When summer heat hits the Texas Hill Country, it doesn’t mess around. Long days, blazing sun, and higher temps can push your home—and your electric bill—to the limit.
But with a little prep (and some help from KPUB), you can keep your home cool and your costs under control. Whether it’s sealing up insulation leaks, tuning your AC, or making the most of rebates and tools like SmartHub, we’ve got your back.
This May, flip the switch on summer stress with these simple, energy-smart steps.
🧊 Tune-Up Time: Get Your AC Ready for the Heat
A well-tuned AC can make all the difference in performance and cost. If it’s been a while since your last maintenance check, now’s the time. Clean filters, check refrigerant levels, and make sure your system is running efficiently—not working overtime.
Better yet, check out KPUB’s energy audit program to identify cooling trouble spots before peak heat hits.

Blackout Curtains: Block the Heat, Keep the Chill
You don’t have to crank the AC all day to stay comfortable. Installing blackout or thermal curtains in sun-facing rooms helps block radiant heat and keeps your cool air inside where it belongs.
It’s a low-cost fix with a high-impact return—especially when paired with better insulation.
Pro tip: Ask us about rebates for insulation upgrades and more:

🌡️ Set It & Forget It: Smart Thermostat Settings
Set your thermostat to 78°F when you’re home and bump it up when you’re away. A programmable or smart thermostat does the work for you—adjusting temps automatically to save energy without sacrificing comfort.
Not sure where your usage stands? KPUB’s SmartHub app can help you track your patterns and see what’s making your meter spin.
