TAME YOUR SUMMER ENERGY COSTS
Summer temperatures can feel just fine when you're spending time outdoors, yet most of us want our homes to always feel cool and comfortable. That often means cranking up the air conditioning and turning on all the ceiling fans, which typically leads to higher
energy bills until fall arrives. Fortunately there are some ways to keep your home cool without blowing the budget on your utility bill and needing to make cuts else- where. Consider these energy-sav-
ing steps this summer:
• Invest in a programmable ther-
mostat. A programmable thermo- stat makes it easy to adjust the temperature in your home up or down based on your schedule and when you want to save energy. For example, you could have it set to a higher temperature while you're at work during the day and a different temperature overnight while you sleep.
• Set your ceiling fans to run counterclockwise. Setting ceiling fans to counterclockwise creates a downdraft, which helps build a di- rect, cooling breeze that reduces the need for air conditioning. This is the opposite of winter, when
you'll want to set your fan clock- wise so it creates an updraft that circulates warm air through the room.
• Use fan and ventilation strategies. Make sure to turn off ceiling fans when no one is in the room, use bathroom fans to reduce heat and humidity during and after a shower, and have all fans in your home vented to the outside.
• Schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system. Clean and maintain your air conditioning sys- tem on a regular schedule by a professional. This will ensure your system is working at optimal effi- ciency at all times, and will likely maximize the lifespan of your HVAC unit.
• Use heat-producing appli- ances at night. Use your dish- washer and oven at night if your schedule permits. If food needs to be heated, consider using an air fryer or microwave.
• Prevent air leaks. Prevent hot air from leaking into your home by sealing cracks and openings around windows and doors with caulk or weather stripping. Install- ing foam gaskets behind outlets and switch plates on walls can also keep cool air in and hot air outside where it belongs.
By being more intentional about the energy you use and taking steps to prevent energy loss, you can stay cool this summer without breaking the bank.
