Now that the temperatures are warming up you will start thinking about air conditioning season and what comes with it. As the temperatures rises you will want to try and keep your home cool without spending a ton on energy bills. Here are some tips for you to cool your home energy efficiently. Lets start with your windows. You should get insulated glass if possible. Also during the harsh sun times use your drapes and shades to block the sun out of your home. This will help keep it a little cooler. At night you can open the windows and turn the AC off to get the fresh cool air into your home for free. Make sure all your windows and doors gaps are sealed. Warm air can get in and start to heat up your home. You can use a caulk sealant to make sure the warm air stays out. During really hot days it is a good idea to not run the over or other big appliances that heat your home up. Wash dishes and do laundry in the early morning or late in the day/evening. Take a shorter shower and make sure you have your exhaust fan turned on so it sucks the humidity out of your home. You can use the ceiling fan to help cool you off but you have to make sure you are in the room. When you leave the room turn the fan off or you are wasting energy. Make sure to take care of your air conditioner so it can take care of you. Make sure to keep the outside unit clear of trees, shrubs, and debris. Make sure you get your air conditioner cleaned and checked each spring. This will ensure your air conditioner is running at its best and will also save you money on energy bills.
