With the height of the Hawaiian summer right around the corner, you’ll likely be cranking your AC quite a bit, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t save on your energy bill. Advanced A/C Contracting in Honolulu knows it can be expensive to run a household and keep everyone in it comfortable, which is why they’ve got a few tips for you.

If you want to save money on your AC bill this summer, try:

• Opening The Windows: Just because it’s summer doesn’t mean you have to run your AC unit constantly. On cooler nights, try turning off the air conditioner and throwing open the windows.
• Programming Your Thermostat: If you’ve got a programmable thermostat for your air conditioner, summer is a great time to take advantage of all its features. Most of the thermostats that come with modern AC units allow you to program them to a constant temperature, which will save energy in the long run.
• Using Fans: Although running a ceiling or electric fan still uses energy, it uses much less than your air conditioning system. Advanced A/C Contracting suggests programming your AC unit to turn on at a higher temperature and using fans to cool your home down.
• AC Maintenance: One of the most reliable ways to cut down on energy costs during the summertime is to ensure that your air conditioner is well maintained. Be sure to invest in the services of an HVAC professional who can inspect your central air system, clean it if necessary, and make any adjustments before the heat of summer sets in.
