5 Ways to Save This Summer & Beat the Heat

Making The Most Of Your Home Cooling System

As the temperatures rise during the summer months, so can your energy bills. However, there are several simple and effective ways to save money while keeping cool. In this blog post, we will explore five strategies to help you save this summer without sacrificing your comfort or breaking the bank. As always, Young’s Home Comfort is here to answer any questions you have about your specific HVAC or cooling system.

1. Embrace Energy-Efficient Cooling

Investing in an energy-efficient cooling system can significantly reduce your energy consumption and lower your bills. Consider upgrading to a high-efficiency air conditioner or installing a programmable thermostat. These smart devices allow you to set specific temperatures for different times of the day, optimizing your energy usage. Young’s recommends that individuals with programmable thermostats refrain from setting higher temperatures when away from home during intense heat waves. While it may result in less frequent cycling, the system will need to exert greater effort to eliminate the accumulated humidity after the temperature adjustment. Additionally, don’t forget to clean or replace your air filters regularly to ensure proper airflow and improve system efficiency.
