Want to lower energy bills without compromising on your AC cooling? If you answered yes to both questions, you have come to the right place. In this post, we discuss how you can lower energy bills with ease while still staying cool during the summer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>To learn more about how we can help you lower energy bills with a more efficient air conditioning system, contact the professionals at Galmiche &amp; Sons in St. Louis. As leading experts on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating and air conditioning<\/a> repair and service, we can optimize your current unit or recommend an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/upgrade-to-a-new-energy-efficient-air-conditioner\/\">energy efficient air conditioner<\/a> replacement.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Six_Easy_Ways_to_Lower_Energy_Bills_during_the_Summer_Season\"><\/span>Six Easy Ways to Lower Energy Bills during the Summer Season<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Clean_Your_AC_System_of_Debris\"><\/span>1. Clean Your AC System of Debris\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your AC can get clogged up with dirt, pollutants, and bacteria over prolonged usage. This debris can prevent seamless airflow and result in excessive energy usage to keep your home cool. Getting your AC system cleaned by experts is a great way to improve your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/impact-of-heat-waves-on-air-conditioner-performance\/\">air conditioner performance<\/a> while also saving on precious costs.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Change_the_AC_Temperature\"><\/span>2. Change the AC Temperature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Studies have shown that the ideal temperature for your AC should be 75\u00b0F. This is because this temperature setting supplements our body&#8217;s natural ability to cool itself, reducing your dependency on external cooling.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, research has shown that running the AC at this default temperature can help you save around 6% of your consumed electricity. Some researchers have observed savings as high as 10%-15% too!<\/p>\n<p>Choosing to run your AC at 75\u00b0F can be a great way to save big bucks during the summer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Switch_Off_the_Room_AC_When_Not_in_Active_Use\"><\/span>3. Switch Off the Room AC When Not in Active Use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It might feel more convenient to let your AC system idle while not in active use (for example, when people aren&#8217;t in the room). But even idling can consume its fair share of energy. So, if you have a mini split system or other individual room AC, it is more economical to switch off the AC completely whenever you don&#8217;t intend to use it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Close_Doors_and_Windows_during_the_Day\"><\/span>4. Close Doors and Windows during the Day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tips-to-lower-energy-bills-this-summer-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Tips to Lower Energy Bills\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tips-to-lower-energy-bills-this-summer-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tips-to-lower-energy-bills-this-summer-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0This might seem very obvious, but you would be surprised just how easy it is to forget to shut the doors and windows when the AC is on. If you keep your doors and windows open while the AC is running, the cold air escapes outside, defeating the purpose of the air conditioner. Closing your doors and windows can reduce the time it takes to cool the room and even reduce how much you will use the AC during summer every day.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Keep_Your_Windows_Open_during_the_Night\"><\/span>5. Keep Your Windows Open during the Night<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As with the previous point, it is good practice to keep your windows open on cooler evenings and nights when possible. Evenings and nights are naturally cooler, making it unnecessary to use your AC system for long periods of time. Plus, you get fresh air that aids your sleep and improves your health. While we may not get many cool nights in the peak of summer in St. Louis, taking advantage of any cooler nights can help lower energy bills.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Switch_on_the_Fan_Alongside_the_AC\"><\/span>6. Switch on the Fan Alongside the AC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many homes and offices have ceiling fans today, particularly in places where the summers tend to get really hot. If your building has a ceiling fan, switch it on along with the air conditioner. While it may seem that you would be spending more energy by operating two appliances, in reality, you are reducing the time your air conditioner needs to run to cool your property. Start by switching your ceiling fan on first to get rid of the warm air in the room. Then switch on the AC to cool the room completely.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Us_for_Help_Lowering_your_Energy_Bills_this_Summer\"><\/span>Contact Us for Help Lowering your Energy Bills this Summer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At Galmiche &amp; Sons, we are residential HVAC and commercial HVAC experts.
