Stay cool, save money, and beat the Texas heat with KPUB.
When the Hill Country sun turns up the heat, blasting your AC might feel like the only option—but it’s not the only solution. This summer, KPUB is here to help you chill smarter, not pricier. With simple habits, smart tools, and our local energy-saving programs, you can stay cool without burning through your wallet.
Ready to beat the heat while saving some green? Let’s dive into your KPUB Summer Survival Guide. ☀️💡
🌀 Fans First: Power Up a Breeze, Not Your Bill
Did you know ceiling fans use far less electricity than air conditioners—and make your space feel up to 4°F cooler? Switch your fan to spin counterclockwise in summer to push cool air down. Add box fans near windows or hallways to circulate fresh evening air and give your AC a well-earned break.

🌅 Block the Blaze: Close Blinds & Curtains During the Day
Your windows can act like magnifying glasses for the sun—heating up your home fast. Close curtains or shades during peak daylight hours (especially on south- and west-facing windows) to keep that summer sun from turning your living room into a sauna.
Upgrade to energy-efficient windows or add insulation? We’ve got rebates for that:

🔥 Cook Cool: Take the Heat Outside
Stoves and ovens crank up your indoor temps. Keep the kitchen cool by grilling outside, using a slow cooker, or trying no-cook meals. Bonus: summer evenings in the Hill Country are perfect for backyard dinners.
📲 Track Your Energy with SmartHub
Want to catch energy spikes before they scorch your budget? KPUB’s SmartHub app helps you monitor your usage in real time. It’s like having a weather radar for your electricity—letting you spot trouble before the storm.
