More tips to help keep your house and your wallet comfortable this summer!
• Don’t cool unused areas. If you have any rooms that are not used regularly, such as a guest room, close the door and close the register/vent to keep the cold air in the rooms where you need it.
• Install an automatic setback or programmable thermostat that starts your air conditioner before you get home.
• If you spend most of your time in a certain room or area, consider buying a portable or window air conditioner for that area and leave the central AC off.
• If you do use a portable or window AC, make sure to close your vents and doors to keep the cool air from escaping.
• A ceiling fan cools fast and costs less than air conditioning!
