How to save money on energy bills in the summer

Summer is almost (officially) here, and it is no doubt going to be a hot one. It won't be to long until we're staring down our higher electric bills trying to keep ourselves cool. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to stay cool and keep your electric bills from breaking the bank.

Reduce energy bills AND stay cooler this summer

You're probably already running your AC to keep the house or apartment cool all day, and the hot part of the year hasn't even arrived yet. There is no sense in waiting until summer to start saving money.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has some summer energy savings tips that give you low-cost or no-cost ways to keep your energy bills down. Like turning off the AC when you're not at home (don't cool an empty house!) and opening windows at night to allow the cool evening breeze to keep everyone comfortable.

They recommend NOT cooling off in front of the fridge, or using hot appliances like dryers or dishwashers during the hot part of the day.

One of the most efficient and cost effective ways of keeping cool and reducing your energy bills is by having a professional install a high performance window film to reduce, reflect and absorb a lot of the suns heat and harmful radiation.

A good quality window film will have a manufacturers lifetime warranty and block 99% of the suns UV rays and up to 81% of the heat! Florida residents regularly see huge drops in their cooling bills after having window film installed. And, to make it all the sweeter, your local energy provider now offers rebates to have a qualifying window film installed in your home, apartment, or business.
