🌡️ A/C & Summer Safety Tips for PVA Residents

Let’s keep our cool this summer—literally! 💨 As we roll into hot weather, here’s a friendly reminder: 3-Steps to save!

✅ Don’t shut off your A/C when you leave home. Instead, set your thermostat to 76°F to keep your space from overheating.
🚫 Turning off the unit during the day allows temps to rise above 83°F, making it harder (and more expensive) to cool down later.
💡 HVAC experts say your system works best when it runs consistently. So you’re not saving energy by turning it off—you’re straining it!

Let’s keep our homes safe, cool, and comfortable. 🧊 Stay hydrated and don’t hesitate to check on your neighbors.
