Basic rules to follow for keeping cool at minimum cost
 | Caulk, weather-strip, and insulate (especially the attic) to close air gaps. |
| Plan hot work (washing and drying clothes, baking, cooking) for cooler morning and evening hours. |
| Pull drapes and shades over windows facing the sun. |
| Keep windows and doors closed when the air conditioning is on. |
| Use a thermostat control to automatically increase or decrease home temperatures for daytime/nighttime differences to save money. |
| Set thermostat control at highest comfortable level-- each degree raised reduces energy consumption by 3-4 percent. |
| Clean or replace air filters regularly. |
| With a new system, consider a service contract for a specified period of time. |
| Keep the outside unit free of leaves or other airflow obstructions. |
| Have the air conditioning unit cleaned each spring. |
