AUSTIN, Texas — Add keeping cool this summer to the list of things costing more. According to new energy projections, look out for a nearly 8-percent increase across the country, or about 7-hundred 19 dollars more to cool a home. If that news burns you up, then listen up: The experts at Consumer Reports share some simple tips you can do right now to save money all summer long.
If you do convince your family to turn up the AC, using a ceiling fan or box fan can make up the difference; running one will actually make the room feel as much as four or even five degrees cooler. Using a programmable thermostat is really the most effective way to save money and it’ll even help you save money on heating bills in the winter.
Next, repair any leaky AC ductwork for central air and fill in holes and cracks around your windows and doors. Insulate around your window air conditioners to keep warm air from entering and cool air from escaping.But never sacrifice safety for savings. Heat-related deaths and illnesses happen quickly and far too often. At the very least, consider a window air conditioner where you sleep.
