Air Conditioners (A/C)

Set the thermostat on your refridgerated air conditioner at 78 degrees during the summer. You can save 5% of the energy used by your air conditioner for every degree you raise the thermostat setting (for settings between 70 and 82 degrees)

Close windows and doors

Replace filters as needed to maintain proper operating efficiency. A clogged filter can cause the A/C to use up to 5% more energy than a clean one.

Refrigerators/Freezers
Locate refrigerators and freezers in a cool room with ventilation. Either appliance will use up to 24% more energy in a room that is 95 degrees compared to a room that is 75 degrees.

Refrigerator thermostats should be set between 38 and 42 degrees and freezer thermostats should be set between 0 and degrees.
