Electric bills can get really expensive in the summer, but there is a way to save money while staying cool. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, you could be saving up to 15% on your annual cooling costs by making some simple changes.
Here are a few money-wasting mistakes to avoid this summer:
- If you don’t adjust your thermostat before leaving your home or office for an 8-hour period of time, you are wasting both money and energy.
- If you adjust your thermostat too much, you are overworking your A/C unit and it’s costing you money.
- If your A/C isn’t well maintained, your unit could be expending more energy than necessary causing higher electric bills. Have an HVAC professional take a look.
