STAY COOL THIS SUMMER & REDUCE YOUR ENERGY BILL

1. Invest in Ceiling Fans: Ceiling fans help cool you down because they move the air. When moving air meets moisture (like the sweat on your skin) it has a cooling affect that can make you feel 8 to 10 degrees cooler.
2. Use Outdoor Misters: Have a cooling affect that can make you feel 8 to 10 degrees cooler. A mister sends a fine spray of water into the air which slowly evaporates by absorbing energy from the air. The net result is a cooler air temperature in the immediate vicinity of the mister.
3. Give Your Air Conditioner a Check-up. The contractor will clean the coils, make sure you have enough refrigerant, and generally see to it that the system works as well as possible. You should also replace or clean the unit's filters as often as required.
4. Energy Efficient Light Bulbs –Fluorescent light bulbs not only use less energy, & last up to 5 years longer, they don’t emit as much heat as regular incandescent bulbs. In fact incandescent bulbs waste 90% of their energy on the heat rather than on lighting!
