Keep Air Conditioning Bills Low

Waiting until those 80-degree summer days isn’t the time to ensure your air conditioner is working properly. For optimum comfort have your cooling system checked early in the year by a NATE-certified technician.

Here are some tips that will also help you save energy costs.

Raise the thermostat about five degrees, because each degree you raise the thermostat will save you about five percent off your energy bill.

Don’t obstruct airflow around the air conditioner unit – keep it clear of plants and debris.

And then finally, clean filters monthly – or more often if you live in a dusty area, your air conditioner is in constant use, or you have pets.
