Air conditioning is the single-biggest energy expenditure you'll make during the summer months. While you might think you'll have to sacrifice a great deal of
comfort in order to save some money, there are actually some easy ways to shave money off of your electricity bill without having to sit in a pool of sweat. Here are just a few of them.
Make Your Air Conditioning System More Efficient
One of the ways you can save money on air conditioning is to make sure that you seal any cracks through which cool air can escape. Check your attic insulation and look for any worn seals around your windows and doors. This will help your AC system run much more efficiently - not only will you save money, your unit won't have to work as hard to keep you comfortable. As a result, it will last longer.
Schedule a Maintenance Check
You should seriously consider getting in touch with a professional to have your air conditioning unit checked from
top to bottom. By doing so, you'll be able to take care of any minor issues before they become major problems that can cost a lot of money to repair. A maintenance check will also point out any inefficiencies that may make your system work harder than it should.
Use Ceiling Fans
There is a very good chance that you can keep your thermostat at a sensible temperature and still stay cool inside. Use a ceiling fan to help circulate cool air so that you don't have to set the temperature so low. You'll be surprised at how comfortable you'll be, and you'll also get a pleasant surprise the next time you get your electricity bill.
