Five ways to conserve energy while keeping cool this summer

Keeping yourself and your food cool at home could really be a costly task this summer. Here are five quick tips to help keep sum of that money for other things.

1. Air conditioners provide clean fresh air due to filters placed in the path of cool air flowing out. These filters become dirty from time to time, especially during times of heavy use. If you clean or replace these filters let’s say, every other week it could save you energy pennies.

2. The condensers are another important part of the air conditioner which helps to provides the cooling effect. The appliance can be made more efficient if you keep debris such as leaves away from the central air exterior condenser and keep the condenser coils clean.

3. A microwave uses much less energy than your full size oven. It also expends less heat to the room, so it is better to use your microwave oven where possible in place of your big oven. It saves energy in more than one way because your air conditioner will have less work to do.

4. Instead of putting on insulating clothes to neutralise the chilli cooling effect from your AC, it is best to turn it down by a few degrees think how much that could save you.

5. The refrigerator runs nice in cool temperatures, but if the coils are not clean the motor will run longer causing more energy to be used up. Cleaning with an appliance brush won’t only save energy but it adds life to your refrigerator.
