Cool Moves For Hot Weather
Saving energy is good for you and good for Chicago home. The electric
power company says these are a few ways to save on air conditioning this
summer.
Make sure the air flow to an outdoor air conditioner is not blocked by
bushes or other obstructions.
Keep the sun outside. Close drapes and blinds during the hottest part of
the day.
Check to see that windows and doors are closed when the air conditioning
is running.
Close closet doors in air-conditioned rooms. Close openings to the attic
and other storage areas.
Turn off the furnace pilot light.
Clean or replace filters on air conditioning units.
Do hot things during cooler morning and evening hours, including
cooking, showering, drying clothes and ironing.
Turn off unnecessary lights.
