The summer heat is coming, which means I may cry when I look at my power bill. When it’s 110 degrees outside and my family wants it to be 74 inside, it’s not cheap. This leaves you with two options: listen to everyone complain or look for ways to save. Here are ways to save on cooling costs, part four of our series on how to cut your utility bills.

Use Fans
This is one of the easiest and most obvious ways to save. Ceiling fans are an efficient way to help circulate air making your home feel cooler without running the air conditioner more. Want to save on ceiling fans? Check eBay, Craigslist, and thrift stores (like Restore). You can also get the contractor’s price if you buy 5 or more at some stores.
Bonus tip: Use the “on” fan setting on your air conditioner to circulate air continuously through your home. It will help to even out hot spots and allow you to run your thermostat at a higher temperature without feeling the heat.
Build an Attic Stairs Insulation Box
This is basically a box that sits at the top of your attic stairs to keep air from escaping. To build one, you’ll need foam board, foil tape, a straight edge, measuring tape, and a utility knife. The best thing about this box is that it is really light so you can easily move it out of the way when you need to access the attic. You can add weather stripping around the edge to increase the effectiveness even more. You can watch this YouTube video for full instructions.

Install a Programmable Thermostat
You can set the thermostat to increase and decrease the temperature based on when you are home. 78 degree is considered energy efficient. If that is too warm for comfort when you are home, you can set it to 78-80 degrees when you away. You can also usually raise the temperature a few degrees while you sleep. We have this one and it is only $23. It’s very easy to program and works well.
Many have a program for each day of the week so you can change settings for weekends and weekdays. If you are home all the time, at least have it set to turn the air up/down while you sleep.
