Set your thermostat higher when away or asleep and lower when at home. Utilize programmable thermostats for automated adjustments.
Seal leaks and insulate windows, doors, and ducts to prevent cool air from escaping and warm air from entering.
Supplement AC with ceiling or portable fans to enhance air circulation and create a perceived cooling effect, allowing you to raise the thermostat temperature.
Schedule annual AC maintenance to ensure filters, coils, and ducts are clean, maximizing efficiency.
Open windows during cooler times to allow fresh air in, reducing reliance on AC.
Invest in energy-efficient AC units, appliances, and light bulbs to reduce overall energy consumption.
Minimize oven and stove usage, switch to LED lights, and utilize curtains or blinds to block out sunlight, reducing indoor heat buildup and AC usage.
