Good luck!|||lower ur thermostat and use ceiling fans, i lower my thermostat to 78 and use all ceiling fans!|||put tinfoil on the windows|||If you have central air, a good way to cut down on the impact of using an AC in the summer is to invest in a programmable thermostat. Set it to a temperature, so that when you are not home, the AC does not run. Most programmables allow you to set the day and the time for this. Additionally, set it to a cooler temperature approximately 30 minutes before you typically arrive home. Lastly, also enter a program for when you are typically sleeping and aren't as bothered by the temperature. Properly using the programmable thermostat has worked wonders on my energy bill during the past two summers.
