Good morning, Alpharetta.

Today, HVAC companies across metro Atlanta report that rising 90-degree heat has doubled repair calls as technicians work long hours to restore cooling; they advise homeowners to schedule maintenance and set thermostats to 72-75 degrees (lessening system strain and high power bills).

Local expert Mike Barcik urged residents to save energy in 90s heat this week by setting thermostats at 75 degrees, using ceiling fans, and turning off lights when not in use.

He explained that sealing leaks and checking rebates from Georgia Power & the State Energy Office could help reduce cooling costs.

The Braves return home today for a three-game series against the Cardinals at Truist Park, aiming to spark a turnaround after a 9-13 June and ongoing hitting slump; pitching changes may prompt trade moves ahead of the deadline.
