- Always purchase Energy Star rated appliances and air conditioners.
- Clean or replace filters on air conditioners and furnaces once a month or as needed.
- Have a professional air conditioning contract perform an annual tune-up on your AC system.
- Whole-house fans help cool your home by pulling cool air through the house and exhausting warm air through the attic. They are effective when operated at night and when the outside air is cooler than the inside.
