How to Save On Your Air Conditioning
How to Save On Your Air Conditioning
Installing a programmable thermostat can save you 10% or more a year on your heating and cooling bills by simply turning your thermostat back by 10 to 15% for 8 hours. By using a programmable thermostat you can have the house automatically turn the heat or air lower when your not home. Such as lowering the house temperature during the winter by turning the heat off, and have it turn on 30 minutes or so before you get home so that its comfortable again as you walk in.
Set your thermostat as high as you comfortably can during summer. The smaller the difference between inside and outside temperature, the lower your cooling bill will be.
Avoid walking in from outside and turning your thermostat lower then normal, when you turn on your air conditioner. This will not cool your house faster and will only result in excessive cooling and, therefore unnecessary expense.
Think about using an interior fan in conjunction with your window air conditioner to help spread the cooled air through the house more effectively without greatly increasing your power bill.
Avoid place computers, lamps, TVs, and other large equipment near your air-conditioning thermostat. The thermostat senses heat which will cause it to run longer then needed wasting electircity.
Planting trees or shrubs to shade air conditioning units can lower the electricity it uses by up to 10%, but
while your shading your air conditioner, make sure to leave room for it to still get air flow so that the unit can run correctly.
