Outdoor mishaps, blunders and eyesores. What happens outdoors…stays on WhooKnoo for a really, really long time.

4 Energy Saving Air Conditioner Tips

Every summer millions of Americans crank on their air conditioner at the first sign of toasty warm weather.  While it’s true that air conditioners definitely help humans remain cool and comfortable, they also have a distinct down side – the amount of energy that is being consumed is not in Mother Nature’s best interest.  Fortunately, there are certain steps you can take to help reduce the toll your air conditioner will take on our environment.  Follow these energy saving tips for a cool yet still efficient summer.

  1. Don’t go too low – It may be tempting to crank your home’s temperature to temperatures below seventy degrees, but resist those urges!  It’s been recommended that people keep their thermostat set at a temperature that hovers right around 78 degrees.
  2. Supplement your A/C unit – Instead of solely relying on your air conditioner to cool your home, it might be a good idea to supplement it with box fans and ceiling fans.  Installing a ceiling fan in your bedroom is an amazingly efficient way to keep your room cool and have good air circulation.
  3. Turn if off when you leave – If you’re going to be away from your home for any sort of an extended period of time, it is definitely a wise choice to turn your air conditioner off.  What’s the point of cooling your home if there is no one around to enjoy it?
  4. Keep warm air out – Never let any doors or windows stay open when you are using your air conditioner.  Additionally, it might be a good idea to weatherstrip any old doors and windows that might be letting heat in.
