Simple tips can help you reduce energy use and increase your savings. Keep cool as we transition into South Florida "fall" and cut back by following a few handy tips from your air conditioning repair experts at Edd Helms. Considering it's energy awareness month, what better time to get your carbon footprint under control? Let's begin!
Replace filters for your air conditioning unit regularly. Once a month is recommended, and it will allow for your air to flow freely and the unit to run less.
Adjust the thermostat. Keeping the air set at about 78 will lower your annual cost by a few hundred dollars. Also, maintenance once annually will benefit your system.
Check your water heater setting. It should be to about 120 degrees, anything higher is simply costing you more money.
If you have a yard or a terrace, consider a clothes line to cut back use of the dryer. Hanging clothes out to dry is a perfectly green alternative. Plus, it will cut back the heat that your dryer distributes throughout your home when it's running.
