Higher Thermostat - In the hot Summer Days, keep your thermostat set a few degrees higher than you normally keep it. Doing so will help prevent over-working your air conditioning unit.
*Scheduled Control - Use a thermostat that allows programming. Programming your air conditioner use will allow you to control the temperature of your home while you are away. Find a cooling schedule to meet your needs.
Air Circulation - Use a fan or ceiling fan to stir the air inside your home. This will help keep your home cooler by 2-4 degrees.
Solar Block - Close blinds or use dark colored drapes or cloths to cover windows and windowed doors. Doing so will help prevent solar gain to help keep your home cooler.
Regular Service - Have your air conditioning system serviced twice a year to ensure proper operation. Air conditioners can become saturated with dust, lint, and other debris. Failure to service and clean your system can lead to less than satisfactory performance and higher energy costs.
