• Invest in a programmable thermostat.  Set your thermostat to 78 degrees. You can raise the temperature even more when no one is home. 

• Dirty air filters force your air conditioner to work harder and use more energy. Changing your air filter once a month can prevent this. 

• Close the blinds and curtains closed. This is especially important for rooms that face the sun. 

• Put on your ceiling fan to stay cool. 

• Turn off and unplug appliances that you are not using. 

• Need to buy new appliances this summer? Opt for the most energy efficient choices on the market. 

• Upgrade to CFL bulbs. They use less energy and last longer than traditional bulbs.
