Saving energy
l Improve your home’s insulation. Seal all
doors and windows. Close the
fireplace flue.
l Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side
of the house. Add window awnings.
l Keep the air filter clean.
l Do not block the airflow from the air
conditioner with drapes or furniture.
l Ventilate the attic. High temperatures in
the attic add to the cooling load.
l Try not to use heat-producing appliances
during the hottest part of the day.
l Turn lights and appliances off when
not needed.
l Keep heat registers and cool-air
returns closed.
l Use exhaust venting fans while cooking,
doing laundry, or bathing.
