shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings_
Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape
up the chimney and into the duct work.
Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the
day.
Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning."
Proper insulation and water stripping in your home will help keep warm air out
and cool air in.

conditioner's work load.
Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and
dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
