In summer, when the temperature increases, people seek cool shelter indoors. Many just switch on their air conditioning units and relax. But the fact is - they have to spend a considerable amount on maintaining their air conditioning units and according to a survey, every American family pays nearly $1,000 a year on heating and cooling their homes which is actually higher than other electricity bills. Island Lincoln, your trusted Florida Lincoln car dealer in Merritt Island offers the following money-saving tips to help beat the summer heat.
· Place a rotating fan in living or dining rooms and circulate the cool air through the house
· Maintain a constant temperature and avoid dropping the thermostat too low. A low temperature will not cool faster but also costs you money
· Raising the temperature up 5 degrees for eight hours a day can save $3 to $5 per month
· Install a whole house fan system which pulls the hot attic air out of the home and keeps the air circulating, giving a cooling effect.
· Replace old air conditioning units. Similarly, replace old windows too.
· Change air conditioning filters regularly, at least once a month. The filters allow good air flow and cut down on cooling costs and stop allergens from floating around.
· Use insulated curtains in windows. They look good and keep windows covered during hot afternoons.
