Summer Energy Efficiency A/C Tips

Courtesy of Duke Energy:

Close curtains or blinds on the sunny side of your home during the day.

Replace standard light bults with CFL's. They use less energy, last longer, and don't create as much heat.

Inspect, clean, or replace air filters monthly.

Do laundry and run your dishwasher at night.

Raise your thermostat setting and use ceiling fans to keep you cool. Like a light, be sure to turn off the fan when you're out of the room.
