@350_Chicago Quick clarification: Hero Power’s rate for new customers is currently slightly higher than the ComEd rate, because we are now buying local RECs. However, we’re also offering a $50 credit to new customers plus we’ll donate $25 to 350Chicago!
Save energy and protect your morning coffee!
Don't refrigerate coffee beans or grounds, because the moisture in the fridge will cause the brewing process to begin in the refrigerator and your coffee will taste stale.

#Energy Tip: Keep your oven door closed as much as possible while cooking.
The temperature drops 25 degrees each time you open it, causing the oven to run longer to heat your food. This also transfers heat to the rest of your home, which makes your AC unit work harder.
Check out our recent look at the cost and benefits of a low-flow showerhead.
Spoiler: It's an easy way to save a lot of water and money.

Staying at home? Dry your clothes outside on a clothesline if you can. The summer heat is perfect for drying your clothes and you will save approximately $.50 per load, which can really add up over time.

Pass it on: Today's a good day to avoid running your drier or other energy-thirsty appliances, as electricity demands are likely to be near the highest of the year. More energy demand mean more peaker plants, which tend to use dirtier fossil fuels.
#Energy Tip: With regularly scheduled AC tune ups, your unit could last 15 to 20 years.
Make sure to get your HVAC unit maintenance scheduled soon if you haven't already this year!
