Keeping Cool this Summer
Keep your family cool and comfy this summer. Portable fans and ceiling fans are a great stand-in when your home’s air conditioner acts up. Portable fans don’t cool the air like an air conditioner does. Instead, they work by creating a breeze and the wind-chill effect from that breeze hits your skin and creates a cooling effect.
HOW TO LOWER ELECTRIC BILL IN SUMMER AND SAVE MONEY
Leaks around windows or other areas of your house allow cold air to continuously flow outside. This forces your air conditioner to keep running in order to try and cool down the house. There are two ways to remedy this problem. The most comprehensive option is to hire an inspector to do a blower door test and identify all leaks throughout your house. If you prefer to do the work yourself, feel around electrical sockets, light switches, doors, windows and baseboards for leaks. When you find one, use caulking or foam to seal it.
