Summer Heat
Tips to Save Yourself from High Energy Bills as Weather Heats Up
Summer is just around the corner.Here are a few ways you can keep your cool in the hot summer sun:
- Set your thermostat as high as comfort permits. The higher the setting, the more energy you'll save.
- With evaporative (swamp) cooling, crack open windows in rooms where you want cool air to flow and close off areas of your home not in use.
- Draw blinds, shades or drapes to block the sun during the hottest part of the day.
- Avoid putting appliances that generate heat, like lamps and TV sets, under your wall-mounted cooling thermostat. The heat rising from these appliances can cause the thermostat to read a temperature that's higher than the actual room and lead to overcooling the whole house.
- Add weather stripping and caulking around all doors and windows, including attic entryways, to reduce air leaks. You can also add caulking around exterior faucets.

Preparing for Wildfire Season Tips from PNM
You can stay prepared and protected throughout wildfire season.
What you can do:
- Create Defensible Space: Clear vegetation and debris at least 30 feet around your home to create a buffer zone that can help prevent the spread of wildfire.
- Maintain Your Property: Regularly maintain your property by clearing dead vegetation, leaves, and other flammable materials from your roof, gutters, and yard.
- Prepare an Emergency Kit: Assemble an emergency kit with essentials such as water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, a first-aid kit, and important documents. Make sure it's easily accessible in case of evacuation.
- Stay Informed: Sign up for outage alerts with PNM by texting #REG to 78766 and then #ALERT to 78766. You can update your contact information with us at PNM.com/login or by calling our team at 888-DIAL-PNM.
- Have an Evacuation Plan: Plan evacuation routes and practice them with your family. Designate a meeting point outside the evacuation area.
- Protect Your Home: Use fire-resistant materials for roofing and siding and install spark arrestors on chimneys. Consider installing fire-resistant shutters or screens on windows.
- Be Cautious with Power Equipment: Avoid using power equipment on windy days and ensure that vehicles and machinery are properly maintained to prevent sparks that could ignite wildfires.
We work year-round to minimize the risk of wildfires.
