Summer cooling tips

We all know how hot summer can be and in return that raises our electric bills. Quality electric has some tips that can help lower those bills and keep your home nice and cool!

Some home repair tips:
             -  Repair and weatherstrip air leaks in the home; about 10-25% of energy used to cool homes escapes via leaks.
             - Increase your attic insulation if the joists are showing. Recommended level: R-38 or 10-16 inches blown.

Your Thermostat

• - When you're home, set your thermostat to 78 degrees.
  - Install ceiling fans to circulate cool air throughout the house.
  -Maintain consistent temperatures.

Vents and Windows 

     - Shade your windows with light-colored shades to reflect heat.
     - Close draperies and shades on south-facing windows to block sunlight and heat during the day.

     -  Install awnings on windows that get excessive sun in the late afternoon.

    -   Move furnishings away from floor or return air vents.
