Get the Most Out of Your Air Conditioner This Summer!

If you have air conditioning, you’re probably enjoying it a lot these days. However, if you’re like most homeowners, you hate paying for the energy that your A/C unit uses. Here are some ways to make the most out of the money you spend on cooling costs. 

Choose a Venting Strategy

Depending on how your home is laid out and where your vents are, you may choose to close some of them at different times of day. You can cool the downstairs when you’re there, then cool the upstairs at night. You may also want to close vents that lead to bathrooms or laundry rooms where you don’t really need cold air.

Unblock Your Vents

Make sure the vents you want to use aren’t covered or blocked in any way. This can keep your cold air from circulating as designed. Remove furniture, drapes, baskets, and more to clear the way!

Use Fans Wisely

Both ceiling fans and portable fans can help you stay cooler. Fans are designed to cool people, not air. If you’re in a room with a fan, it can help you stay cooler by moving the air against your skin, but it won’t help you lower the temperature of the room. Turn on fans when you’re in a room, then turn them off when you leave. Make sure your fans are spinning the proper direction for summer!
