Take control of your summer power usage by following these tips... Summer is a fun time of year, but it also means hot, humid days, afternoon thunderstorms, plenty of pesky mosquitoes...and higher electricity bills. You can’t control the heat, storms or humidity, but you do have some control over your summertime electricity usage. It’s a fact that as the outdoors warms up, your home experiences more heat gain. In response, you adjust the thermostat to remain comfortable. Utilities often suggest a thermostat setting of 78 degrees. Why 78? An inactive person begins to perspire when the temperature rises above 78. But what happens if you’re active and get too warm? You lower the thermostat. However, for every degree the thermostat is set below 78, the run time of your air conditioning unit or heat pump increases 5 to 8 percent. This ups your electricity usage. Here’s a few suggestions to help you lower your electrical usage during the cooling season: • Have your air conditioning system serviced annually. • The ductwork should be inspected to make sure there are no duct leaks. If leaks are found, have them sealed with approved aluminum tape or mastic. Duct tape isn’t a fix-all for air conditioning ductwork. • Keep all windows and doors closed when the air conditioner is in operation. • Change the filter(s) monthly or whenever they show signs of dust accumulation. Higher quality air filters trap more dust particles, and they need changing as often as lesser quality filters. • Keep air supply registers open to all rooms, even those not frequently occupied. Closing off air supply registers increases the air pressure on the duct system, and this ups the chances of duct leakage. • Keep all interior doors to rooms with supply air registers open, unless a return air vent is located within the room. If you keep doors to rooms without return air vents closed, it does not allow for adequate air circulation and the temperature of the room will increase. Sound familiar? You can’t control the summer storms or the outside humidity, but you can get a handle on your energy usage and lower your monthly bills. As for those pesky mosquitoes, try insect repellent!
