Keeping cool in the summer doesn’t have to come with skyrocketing energy bills. By following a few simple strategies, you can save money while staying comfortable.
Adjust Your Thermostat
- Set It Higher While Away:
The Consumer Energy Center reports that for every degree above 72°F, you can save 1-2% on your electric bill. Turn the thermostat up to reduce energy consumption when you’re at work or away from home. - Use a Programmable Thermostat:
Program your thermostat to cool your home shortly before you return, ensuring comfort without the cost of running your AC all day. If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, consider upgrading to a smart model. Hillside Heating & Cooling installs programmable and smart thermostats that are accessible from anywhere with Internet access. - Set It Properly at Night:
Adjust the temperature while sleeping to maximize savings without compromising comfort.
Schedule an Air Conditioner Tune-Up
- Boost Efficiency:
Low refrigerant, dirty filters, and unmaintained systems can drastically reduce your AC’s efficiency. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance, saving energy and reducing bills. - Avoid Breakdowns:
A well-maintained AC unit is less likely to break down during the hottest days of summer. This not only saves repair costs but also provides peace of mind. - Extend System Lifespan:
Regular tune-ups increase the longevity of your system and provide insights into when it might need replacement.
