Do You Have Air Conditioning In Your Home?

• Small room fans are an energy efficient alternative to air conditioning.
• Let the sun shine in! Use daylight and turn off lights near windows when possible.
• Use a clothesline!


• For every degree you turn the thermostat above 78 degrees, you can reduce cooling costs by 8% or more.
• Increase temperatures to 85 degrees over weekends and holidays. Turn air handler units off as soon as employees have left the facility.


• If you do not have a programmable thermostat, try to purchase one.
• If you have one, you can save as much as 10% - 15% a year on your cooling and heating bills. Some people are saving up to $100 a year!
• If you can, set your air conditioning settings at or above 78 degrees during the day and 82 degrees at night.
