Staying cool in the summer can be expensive, but there are ways to save energy and keep costs down. Here are some tips:
-
Adjust Your Thermostat: Set your thermostat to 78°F (25-26°C) when you’re home, and raise it by a few degrees when you’re away. Consider using a programmable or smart thermostat to automate these adjustments.
-
Optimize Your Air Conditioning: Keep the air filter clean and replace it regularly. Consider having your AC system inspected to ensure it’s running efficiently.
-
Use Fans Wisely: Ceiling fans can help circulate cool air. Make sure they’re rotating counterclockwise to push cool air down. Turn off fans when you leave the room since they cool people, not rooms.
Implementing these tips can help keep your energy bills in check and make your summer more comfortable!
