Summer equals outdoor fun, but it can also equal higher utility bills as temperatures rise and air conditioners have to work overtime. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do that can reduce energy usage during the summer and stretch your budget a little further. 1. Make the Most of Natural Airflow Before turning down your thermostat to cool off, try taking advantage of nature's cooling system. For example, you can open your windows during the cooler morning and evening hours to create cross-ventilation throughout your home. If possible, open windows on opposite sides of the house to encourage air movement. Ceiling fans and portable fans can also help circulate air and make rooms feel cooler. A fan uses significantly less energy than an air conditioner, making it a cost-effective way to improve comfort on milder days.
Quick Tip: Make sure ceiling fans rotate counterclockwise during the summer. This pushes cool air downward and creates a refreshing breeze.
