1. Get a programmable thermostat: A programmable thermostat can save you up to 10% a year on your heating and cooling bills by automatically adjusting the temperature when you’re away or asleep.
2. Seal and insulate your home: Sealing and insulating your home can improve your comfort and save you money on your energy bills.
3. Use fans wisely: ceiling fans and portable fans can help circulate air and make your home feel cooler, without using as much energy as an air conditioner.
4. Open your windows at night: If the temperature outside is cooler than it is inside your home, open your windows at night to let in the cool air.
5. Close your windows and blinds during the day: During the day, keep your windows and blinds closed to keep the heat out.
