Here are 5 tips to save energy this summer that can put more money in your wallet.
Use a programmable thermostat: A programmable thermostat can help you save energy by automatically adjusting the temperature when you’re not home or when you’re asleep. Set your air conditioner to turn on before you get home, and turn it off or raise the temperature when you leave.
Keep your air conditioner well-maintained: Regular maintenance can help your air conditioner run more efficiently, which can save you money on your energy bills. Change your air filters regularly, and have your air conditioner serviced by a professional at least once a year.
Don’t Close doors and vents in unused rooms: Closing doors and vents in rooms you’re not using will only force the system to work harder to recirculate the air it blows out. This can hurt your air conditioner and waste energy. Read our article here
Use fans to circulate air: Fans can help circulate cool air throughout your home, which can help you feel more comfortable while using less energy. Use ceiling fans or portable fans to help cool down your home, but make sure to turn them off when you leave the room.
Keep blinds and curtains closed during the day: Closing blinds and curtains during the hottest parts of the day can help keep your home cooler, which can reduce the workload on your air conditioner. This is especially important for windows that face the sun, as they can let in a lot of heat.
So take advantage of these 5 tips to save energy this summer while still staying comfortable.
