3 Easy Ways to Lower Your A/C Bill This Summer

Another beautiful – but brutal – Ohio summer is on the way. And when temperatures rise, so do your air conditioning bills. Thankfully, here at Reliant, we’ve got three simple but effective tips to keep costs low without sacrificing comfort.

1. Set Your Thermostat a Few Degrees Higher

One of the easiest ways to save is by adjusting your thermostat. Setting it a few degrees higher – even just 2 or 3° – can make a noticeable difference in your energy consumption. Add a ceiling or box fan in the mix to circulate cool air? Your home can feel 4-5°cooler without touching the thermostat.

2. Block Out the Sun

Sure, it’s beautiful – but that sunlight streaming through windows can significantly heat up your home. Use blinds, shades, or curtains to block the sun during the hottest parts of the day. (Then open back up for those patented Ohio sunsets, of course!)

3. Maintain Your Air Conditioning Unit

It’s simple: a well-maintained air conditioning system runs more efficiently. Clean or replace your air filter regularly, and have your system serviced to ensure it’s working at peak performance.

Too busy soaking up the sunshine to deal with all that?
We’ll get it done for you at the Reliant Comfort Club.
