Sweltering hot days make it harder to keep your home cool, straining air conditioning systems and energy budgets.
The Energy Education Council offers some simple tips to boost comfort and save on electric bills during the sultriest of days:
Make sure your air conditioner filter is clean. Change or clean it monthly during the cooling season.
Ensure air can move freely around the air conditioner unit coils. Remove leaves and plant overgrowth that could keep it from operating efficiently.
Use ceiling and oscillating fans to create a wind-chill effect.
