Air Conditioners

Clean filters once a month.

Central Air

Check the filters monthly and replace them if they're dirty.

Ceiling Fans

Use them to reduce cooling costs. A ceiling fan with the air conditioner on low will provide the same comfort as an air conditioner set to high, and will save money.

Exhaust Fans

Got them in the bathroom and kitchen? Use them. They remove heat and moisture.

Shades

Close them during the day, especially on the east and west sides of your home.

Windows

Close them during the hottest hours every day. At night, open window opposite one another for cross ventilation.
