Energy Saving Tips to Prep your Home for Summer


May is in full swing and the weather is getting warmer. Air conditioning can cause energy costs to go up, so here are some tips I found from FrugalDad.com to save money and keep cool in the summer.

Plant a tree next to your AC unit: Putting some shade over your outdoor AC unit can make it run more efficiently.

Inspect your dryer vents: Clogged dryer vents cause warm air to come back in the house.

Run your bathroom vent fan during showers: This removes warm, muggy air from steamy showers, making the AC unit's job easier.

Consider a drying rack for heavy garments like jeans or towels: Air drying heavy garments makes a big difference.
