5 Tips to Save this Summer!

The temperatures are soaring … but that doesn’t mean your energy bills should, too! Here are some warm weather energy conservation tips to help you lower your costs while keeping you cool and comfy.

 

  1. Become a fan of fans: Ceiling fans use considerably less power than air conditioners. Make sure you switch your fans to spin in a counterclockwise direction to create a down draft and cool your home!

  2. Grill and chill: Conventional ovens create heat inside your home and force your AC to work harder. Try cooking outside to avoid adding unnecessary heat inside.

  3. Tune it up: Your air conditioner's efficiency can significantly increase after a tune-up, potentially reducing energy costs by up to 15% and extending the unit’s lifespan.

  4. Replace your AC filter: A dirty filter can force your air conditioner to work harder and increase energy costs. We recommend changing the filter every one to three months.

  5. Get shady: Draw the shades and blinds during the day to block out the sun and keep the heat outside your home.
