Turn Your Thermostat Up in the Summer

In the summer raise your thermostat to 75 degrees F before the air conditioning kicks in. Also, wake up early and open the windows to cool the house a few more degrees, then shut the windows and draw the curtains to prevent the house from heating up.

In dry climates, an environmental option to air conditioners is water evaporators/swamp coolers. This keeps the house humid and cool. I like the air from these a lot more than I do from air conditioners.


Better yet, avoid cooling systems all together and use a fan!
