FreeMoneyFinance's Energy Saving Tips
FreeMOneyFinance comes at us today with a few great tips on how to keep our energy bills as low as possible this summer despite cranking that AC now and again. Here they are:
Have your duct system tested for leaks; up to 40% of the energy put out by a central AC system can seep through leaky ducts.
Ask for a “blower test” which shows where air is escaping from your home (this is useful for summer and winter energy loss).
Close your fireplace damper.
Clean or replace your air conditioner filter.
Clean and tune your air conditioner.
Upgrade aging equipment and look for Energy Star compliant models with a high energy efficiency ratio (EER).

Comments are sorta kinda broken right now. We're working on it but to save energy can only work in daytime when solar system is at peak performance.
