These last few scorching months have been hard on your wallet. Likely, your energy bill has increased and you have to pick up the tab. There has to be an easier way to save money with your Kissimmee air conditioning, right? Well, your AC repair professionals at All Temp would like to share some quick and easy ways to save on your energy bill.
- Thermostat Temperature: The difference between 68°F and 71°F is not very visible, but turning your thermostat down just 3°F can save you 3% off your monthly heating bill. Do the opposite for summer to save on energy.
- Light Bulbs: Not only are energy-efficient light bulbs beneficial to your wallet, but they are beneficial to the environment as well. Some light bulbs consume less energy but still provide the same quality of light. In addition to installing energy efficient light build, try to remember to turn off lights when you exit rooms. This can make a significant impact on your energy bill.
- Power Strips: Who knew that energy is still being used by appliances that are not turned on? Even if turned off, home appliances can draw a small amount of power. Using a power strip can quickly eliminate this problem, being able to cut the power to that appliance completely and eliminate unrequired energy loss.
- Keep your house sealed: Notice that small crease under your door? That small crevice can mean a large difference in your energy bill. Take some time to inspect and seal any openings to the outside of your home. This prevents unwanted drafts and will keep your home cooler and your wallet thicker.
- Sealing Windows: Oftentimes, windows are often overlooked when searching for ways to trim your energy bill. Heat can be transmitted into your home due to poorly covered windows. A great way to counter this is to cover your window with shades, or even with plastic.
- Ceiling Fans: Who knew that fans can help you save on your energy bill? Fans require little energy to run, and they keep you cool in the summer without having to sacrifice a large chunk of energy on turning down your AC system.
Saving energy is not only beneficial to you, but the environment as well. There are many ways to help keep your home cool while keeping your pockets full. There are times, however, when your AC is not working properly. If you suspect your air conditioner is not functioning properly, it’s best to call your Kissimmee air conditioning professionals at All Temp at (813)630-9400.
