Chill Out: Smart Ways to Lower Your Summer Cooling Costs

Chill Out: Smart Ways to Lower Your Summer Cooling Costs

If this feels too warm initially, try raising the temperature by one or two degrees each day to allow your body to acclimate Using a ceiling fan in conjunction with this setting can make 78°F feel like 74°F.

How often should I change my AC filter in Georgia?

In the Metro Atlanta area, we deal with high levels of pollen, dust, and humidity We recommend checking your filter every 30 days If you have pets that shed or family members with allergies, you will likely need to replace it every month At a minimum, you should never go longer than 90 days without a fresh filter.

Do ceiling fans actually lower the room temperature?

No Ceiling fans do not lower the temperature of the air; they only move it They cool people via the wind-chill effect Because of this, running a fan in an empty room is a waste of electricity Always turn the fan off when you leave the room.
