We’ve come up with a list of 10 things to cut back on that expensive air conditioning bill. Follow these tips to beat the heat and save some green!

Our Top 10 List

1. Don’t run your dehumidifier at the same time as your air conditioning.

3. Consider placing awnings up on the south side of your home.

4. Aim to keep your home temperature set at 75 degrees or higher if you can run ceiling fans.

5. Move heat conductors away from your thermostat. If something is giving off heat near your thermostat, your thermostat may read the room temperature wrong and require your air conditioning system to work more.

6. Consider placing blackout curtains on your windows. Not only do curtains dress up a room, but they can also keep it cool.

7. Change your air filter out at least every 3 months.

8. Seal your heating and cooling ducts.

9. Shade your compressor!

10. Turn your thermostat temperature up 4 – 7 degrees when you’re away or sleeping. The closer the thermostat is to the outdoor temperature, the more you will save
