Is anything better than a home-cooked meal? But, using the oven and stove raises the heat in your home.
Your central cooling system works by removing heat from your home, the more heat you put into your home, the more it has to work.
The more it works, the higher your air conditioner bill. Grilling meals outside, trying some meals that don’t require cooking, and only using your oven or stove in the evenings and days when it is cooler outside are some ways to conserve. Remember that like using your oven and stove, your clothes dryer also brings heat into your home, which raises your air conditioner bills. When the weather permits, hang dry your clothes. Not only does this save on your energy costs, however your clothes will also last longer. Another way he can make its way into your home is through your windows. Blinds can reduce the heat gain into your home by up to 45%. Yet, most of us leave our blinds open all day, every day, even while we’re away from home. Instead, close your blinds. If you’re at home during the day and would appreciate some sunshine, at least try to keep west and south-facing windows covered. If you are gone for eight hours a day or more, keeping your temperature at the same setting all day will cost you a lot of money. Instead, using a programmable thermostat that automatically raises the temperature when you leave, and cools before you get home. This is a great solution to lower the cost of your energy usage every week.
