Follow Custom Cooling & Heating’s (customcooling.net) summer checklist to ensure that the warmer weather doesn’t mean expensive utility prices.
Custom Cooling & Heating understands that summer is in full swing, which means most are using more energy to cool their homes than realized. So, between barbecues, belly flops into the pool and burning the midnight oil, don’t forget to make these simple adjustments around the house to lower summer cooling costs!
Turn off all unnecessary lighting and devices.
Keep thermostats at a constant, comfortable level when home. Health permitting, save money by setting the thermostat at 78 degrees. Consider installing a programmable thermostat to automatically adjust the home’s temperature when away or sleeping, which can save as much as 10% off annual electric bills.
Move furniture blocking ducts or fans. This will enable cooled air to circulate freely, making the home more comfortable.
About 40% of unwanted heat comes through windows. Simply closing blinds and curtains, which act as a layer of insulation, can reduce heat throughout the home.
Use ceiling fans or portable fans with the windows partially open to circulate fresh air throughout home.
Run appliances that produce heat (like clothes dryers and dishwashers) at night when it is cooler.
