Spring’s mild temps can help your home use less energy. Check out these tips to save even more.
Spring into Savings
A/C & Electric Heat
Mild spring temps help give your A/C and heater a break so you can save. Try these easy tips and tools to keep the savings going all season long:
- On spring days, open your windows to enjoy a refreshing breeze instead of turning on the A/C.
- Run your fan counterclockwise to create a comfortable cooling effect. The direction switch is typically located on the fan’s base.
- Check for air leaks around windows and doors and seal them with weatherstripping to help keep warm air out. Most hardware and home improvement stores carry easy, DIY friendly options.
- Replace your A/C air filters regularly to keep your system running smoothly as temperatures rise, especially if you have pets.
