Summer Energy Efficient Tips

Summer is almost here.  But even Spring has it's hot days.  With that being said, you may be in need of some summer energy saving efficiency tips?  Then follow the below tips.

Use energy saving light bulbs.
Turn off all appliances in the house and unplug when not in use.
Set your thermostat as high as comfortably possible.
Weatherize.  Have proper caulking and weather stripping.
Close window shades and curtains to deflect sunlight away from the inside of your home.
Use a fan with your window air conditioner to spread cool air effectively through your home.
Don't place lamps or tvs near window air condition thermostats.  The heat from these will cause your air conditioner to run longer. 
Don't cool rooms that are not occupied.
Use fans as much as possible.
