Four Tips to Save Energy and Stay Cool Over the Summer
Change Your Air Filters Regularly.
The experts advise changing your filters every other month – and that is great during the whole year, but if your family is like ours, the summer is filled with lots of in-and-out of the house and with temperatures in the triple digits, our unit is running nearly non-stop. We change our filters monthly in the summer to ensure that air flow and quality is at its best!
When Possible Reflect Heat.
Installing a radiant barrier to your roof as well as your garage doors can help save a TON in your electricity bill. Every degree of heat that does not enter your home is a degree you don’t need to cool. We took this one step further, and for the month of August, we place a reflective barrier in the windows of the rooms we do not use frequently throughout the day (ex: bedrooms). This helps eliminate heat transfer through our windows and helps keep the air that is cool on the inside, cool.
Mow and Weed Eat Around Your Unit.
We have a teenage neighbor who mows our yard and we are very clear that he needs to weed out carefully around our unit. Any debris that gets into the filters can stop air from flowing through the unit efficiently, meaning we have to pay more! It is also a good idea to spray out the unit with a garden hose every couple of weeks to keep the dust buildup at bay.
