Here we are mid July 2014, and wow the time sure does go fast! This summer hasn't been too hot yet and I'm not sure it will get there, for too long anyways. Sure, we have had brief spells of 90's plus and will get them again. So yea... we've had a few hot days, but nothing compared to the Summer of 2012's record setting heat wave!

Summertime seems to make our appliances work harder. The heat stresses washer and dryers causing them to work harder and use more energy. But our refrigerators really work hard when the temperature rises.
