Top Ways to Stay Cool & Save Money This Summer

• Close the Blinds and Seal Air Leaks: Keep your blinds closed when direct sunlight is coming through your windows. The less direct sunlight that comes in, the cooler your home will be. Plus, keep cool air inside by using weather stripping to seal air gaps.
• Set Your Fan to Rotate Counterclockwise: Setting your fans to rotate counterclockwise in the summer keeps air moving and rooms cooler and can reduce the amount of energy it takes to keep your home comfortable.
• Schedule A/C Service: Book a tune-up for your A/C if you haven’t already. A tune-up can help you save up to 10% on operational costs. Plus, you can sign up for a service plan for more protection and peace of mind. If it’s time to install a new high-efficiency A/C, we can handle that!
• Run Appliances During Off-Peak Hours: Prioritize running high-energy appliances like washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, and electric vehicle chargers during off-peak hours to save money on your energy bills.
• Install a Programmable Thermostat: A programmable thermostat can reduce the amount of time your A/C runs unnecessarily. Use a programmable thermostat to create a cooling schedule that best fits your needs.
• Start Thinking Ahead to Fall: Set yourself up to save money all year long by scheduling a heating system tune and signing up for a service plan to bundle scheduled and surprise service needs.
