7. Shade your outside wal
ls (especially on the west) from the direct
sun; most importantly, shade the unit itself. Trees and shrubs
provide natural shading, but make sure they don’t block the air
flow around the unit. If natural shade isn’t present, awnings are
the best solution for shading the unit and the windows. Also,
avoid areas where too much dust or pollen would be drawn
into the air conditioner.
8. Inside the house, use blind
s, screens, or drapes on windows
exposed to the sun. They will reduce your cooling needs.
(Lined or insulated draperies will also help cut heating costs
in winter).
9. Make sure your attic area is properly vented. In addition,
ing turbine or power ven ti la tors to help remove consider install
hot air from your attic.
10. Keep your Friedrich unit clean. Use a vacuum cleaner
attachment for accessible parts, but take ca
re not to damage
them. Clean the reusable filter at least twice a month.
11. Set the thermostat at a higher temperature - save 5% in energy
usage for each degree of temperature over 72°F.
Caulking - air leaks around doors, windows, lighting and
plumbing fixtures can account for as much as 30% of the load
on heating and cooling systems. See that all these areas are
well caulked.
These are some suggestions for saving money on cooli
ng costs.
Some, however, may not be applicable to your house or area. Check
with your local utility company for more especialized information.
