Bright ideas to save energy in the summer
When it's hot outside, these are the best ways to conserve energy inside.
Turn your thermostat up a few degrees
Keeping your house a few degrees warmer than normal will save on air conditioning costs.
Change your air filter
Change your system air filter every month to thee months during heavy usage. A dirty filter will slow down air flow and make the system work harder to keep you cool.
Use a programable or smart thermostat
A programmable or smart thermostat can automatically adjust cooling or heating temperatures to optimize performance and increase savings. You can also adjust a smart thermostat remotely.
Use fans
Use fans to cool the room you're in. They make a room feel 4-6° cooler. But be sure to turn them off when you leave the room.
Open windows at night and close them during the day
At night, when it's cooler outside than inside, open your windows to cool off your house. During the day, close your windows and shut the curtains or blinds to keep the sun from shining in.
Avoid turning on your oven
Rather than turn on your oven to cook, make dinner outside on a barbecue grill.
