7 Tips on How to Lower Your AC Costs This Summer

Who DOESN'T want to save money on their air conditioning costs? There are many other things to spend your money this summer. Save your money for a family vacation, a new toy for the boat, or summer clothes for the kids. You want to get the most efficient use out of your air conditioner as possible. The best cooling company near the Lake of the Ozarks would like to share 7 handy tips with you on how to lower your air conditioning costs this summer.

1. Use a fan.

Using a fan can make you feel 6 to 7 degrees cooler. Just remember to turn off the fan when you're not using it. When you are using your air conditioner, a ceiling fan can help disperse the cool air throughout your home.

2. Run your air conditioner efficiently.

While your out of the house or asleep, increase the temperature on your thermostat as high as you COMFORTABLY can. This can help lower your costs by quite a bit.

3. Be sure to close your curtains, blinds, and shades.

Prevent the solar heat by coming in your home by closing your curtains, blinds, and shades. Be sure to hang your shades as close to the window pane as possible.


4. Plant trees around your house.

Plant leafy trees around your home's exterior. This will help to stop the sun from shining inside your home. 

5. Solar Screens or mesh-like window screens.

Solar screens or mesh-like window screens can intercept the majority of solar energy before it enters your home but are more effective east/west facing windows. 

6. Take advantage of having a basement, if you have one.

Hot air rises, camp out in the basement where it's cool. Relax on a couch in front of a TV with a cold drink. That may be JUST what you need.

7. Reduce indoor heat.

When possible refrain from using your oven and stove when trying to lower air conditioning costs because this can heat up your house. Heat up some nachos in your microwave and enjoy!
