How to Lower Electricity Bills in the Summer
HOW TO 
Tags: Lower Electricity Bills, Elcetricity Bills, Saving Money
During those summer months the tempeture may not be the only thing climbing. Your electrical bill can be rising also. Below are some ways to lower your electricity bills during the summer.
| 1. | Keep blinds or shades closed. When open, the sun can really heat up a room. |
| 2. | Turn off the lights. They add heat, just like sunlight does. |
| 3. | Remember that heat rises, so downstairs rooms should have most of the vents closed, so the upstairs rooms get more air. |
| 4. | The clothes dryer uses up a lot of energy and produces heat. Try using a clothes line instead. Also use the washer as little as possible. |
| 5. | Anywhere cool air might escape must be blocked. |
| 6. | Any door that can be closed should be closed. That leaves less of the major living space to cool down. |
| 7. | Do as little major work indoors. Think about doing workouts outside. The less movement you do inside, the less heat you produce. I'm not saying, "Don't exercise". Keep exercising, just do it in a different place. |
| 8. | Keep the air conditioner on the same temperature. Don't keep changing it. It works better this way. |
| 9. | Cool down the house early in the morning by placing a box fan in the window and opening up another window at the opposite end of the house. |
