"Will Turning Off My Air Conditioning Save Money?"
Do you think turning off your AC when you leave home will save you money? Think again. According to experts, turning off your AC when you're gone can actually cost you more in the long run.
HERE's why:
-
When you turn off your AC, the temperature in your home will rise. This means that when you turn it back on, it will have to work harder to cool your home down. This can put additional strain on the unit and shorten its lifespan.
-
Turning off your AC and then turning it back on can also cause your energy bill to go up. This is because your AC will have to work harder to cool your home down, which will use more energy.
So, what's the best way to save money on your AC bill?
01
Reasonable Temps
Set your thermostat to a slightly higher temperature when you're gone. This will help you save energy without sacrificing comfort.
03
Look For Leaks
Seal any air leaks around your windows and doors. Air leaks can let hot air in and cold air out, which can make your AC work harder.
02
Check & Clean
Clean your air filter regularly. A dirty air filter can reduce your AC's efficiency, which can lead to higher energy bills.
04
Get Smart
Consider installing a programmable thermostat. A programmable thermostat can help you save energy by automatically adjusting your AC's temperature when you're asleep or away from home.
