Air conditioning accounts for about 60 percent of a typical home’s electric energy use. Set your thermostat at 78 degrees or higher if you’re leaving the house for more than four hours. Never forget with a programmable thermostat. Also learn how to lower this number with a higher SEER rating System.
With higher temperature settings, use ceiling fans or portable fans to move air to make the room feel cooler. You’ll stay more comfortable and save energy, too.
Turn off lights when the room is not occupied and, whenever possible, convert incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent light bulbs.
Seal air leaks around doors and windows with caulk and weather-stripping. This will increase indoor comfort, and help reduce both your cooling and heating costs.
Use shades or curtains to block the sun and heat during summer and open them in cooler months to take advantage of free solar heat.
