How do I reduce my cooling costs?

Set your thermostat to 78 degrees when home and higher when away. Use ceiling fans to create a wind chill effect so you can raise the thermostat setting. Close blinds and curtains on sunny windows during the day. Replace air filters monthly. Seal ductwork leaks and ensure your attic is properly insulated. Have your AC serviced annually to maintain peak efficiency. A well-maintained system uses less energy.
