Power bills start to climb every year when the weather warms up. Summer can be hard on your wallet, even if you invested in energy efficient appliances from your HVAC contractor. Limit your air conditioning costs while keeping your home comfortable with the tips below.

How to Save Money on Air Conditioning

1. Use a Fan

HVAC ContractorIf the weather is a little warmer than you’d like, you don’t have to crank up the AC. Instead, turn on a fan. While it’s only an effective substitute for part of the temperature range, it uses much less electricity than an air conditioner.

2. Close the Doors

If you have doors, windows, or vents open to the outside, you’ll lose cool air quickly and have to pay for more. Close off everything you can during the day, then open it again at night to air out the home.

3. Insulate

Cold air seeps out through poorly insulated walls and windows. Invest in additional insulation to combat this. You will make up the cost of renovation in savings on your electric bill in the next few years. This will also put less strain on your appliances, resulting in a lower need for repairs from an HVAC contractor. 

4. Generate Less Heat

Appliances like your oven, stove, and dryer heat up your home every time you use them. Try eating foods you don’t need to cook and dry your laundry outdoors instead of using a dryer.

 

If your summer power bills are higher than you’d like, there are several ways you can bring them down.
