- Install a clean air conditioning filter on a regular basis in the summer and replace or clean it monthly. Dirty filters cause the equipment to work harder and use up to five percent more energy.
- Set the air conditioner thermostat at 78 degrees. Each degree below 78 adds about eight percent to your cooling costs.
- Set your thermostat at a higher temperature while you're away from your home. This way the air conditioner won't be on as often while you're out.
- Preform heavy housework chores in the cooler time of the day (laundry, baking etc)
- Keep direct sunlight out as much as possible. Consider light-colored roofs, outside walls and drapes.
- Weatherstrip doors and windows to prevent expensive air leaks. Make sure all windows and doors are closet when the air condition unit is operating.
- The attic should be properly ventilated to prevent excess heat build-up, which causes your cooling system to work harder,
