Trying to stay cool without breaking the bank? Mauzy has some more simple and inexpensive strategies to stay cool while the temperature is rising.
Keep Your Cooling System Running Efficiently
*Schedule regular maintenance for your cooling equipment. Call Mauzy to learn about operating and maintaining your system effectively.
*If you have a room air-conditioner, avoid placing lamps or TVs near the thermostat; it senses heat from the appliances, and causes the A/C to run longer than necessary.
*Vacuum vents regularly to remove dust and make sure nothing is blocking airflow.
Don't Heat Your Home with Appliances and Lighting
*On hot days, avoid using the oven; grill outdoors or use a microwave.
*Install efficient, ENERGY STAR lighting that runs cooler and turn lights off when you walk out of a room.
*Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes; air dry both whenever possible.
*Take shorter showers, and minimize baths.
*Decrease usage of computers, stereos, televisions and other hot devices that add heat to the home.
Keep Hot Air from Leaking Into Your Home
*Seal cracks and openings to prevent warm air from leaking into your home.
*Add caulk or weatherstripping to seal air leaks around leaky doors and windows.
If you can adapt some of these tips on a daily basis, you will ensure maximum savings - of both the energy and monetary kind - throughout the warm summer months.
