has the biggest impact
on your utility bill. Heating
and cooling accounts
for nearly 50 percent
of the energy used in
a typical U.S. home,
according to the U.S.
Energy Information
Administration.
There's another
famous weather say-
ing, "Everybody talks
about the weather,
but nobody does any-
thing about it."
Although we can't change
the weather, Mason County
PUD 3 technology can help us
take steps to change the way
it affects our home energy use.
Keeping track of average
local temperatures and your
daily energy use is a good way
to identify habits or power
hogs that may be increasing
how much electricity you use.
It can help you make energy
decisions that are right for
you and your family.
That's where PUD 3's Sm-
artHub app comes in handy.
By using the app online or on
your smartphone, you can see
a chart of your home's energy
usage. There's also a black
line graph that shows daily
local temperatures. It's a good
way to reveal how the weather
affects your energy usage.
The temperature data comes
from an official National Oce-
anic and Atmospheric weather
station at Sanderson Field
near Shelten. While there are
differences in weather among
various parts of Mason County,
this temperature data is a good
indicator of the overall weather
patterns in the county.
You can download the Sm-
artHub app at my.pud3.org or
in your phone's app store. It's
easy to set up and use, but it
packs a powerful assortment
of information.
