And some tips from Com-Ed to keep your home cool during the heat wave:

* Keep your thermostate at 75-78 degrees when you're home. Lowering the temperature won't cool your house any faster.
* Run appliances like ovens and washing machines in the morning or night when it's a little cooler.
*Keep shades, blinds, and curtains closed.
*Use fans to distribute cool air.
*Check your air conditioner's filter.
