1. KEEP YOUR BLINDS OR SHADESCLOSED ALL THE TIME.

The sun that beams throughyour windows can

immediately heat up a room.


TURN OFF ALL YOUR LIGHTSDURING THE DAY.

They also add more heatto your home.


The sunlight that still makes itthrough those closed shades are

enough light for you to getthrough until night time.

2. IF YOU DO USE THE AIRCONDITIONING, REMEMBER THAT

HOT AIR ACTUALLY RISES.

For homes thathave multiple floors:keep the downstairs

vents closed.



Doing this, the upstairs ventsgive you more air,

allowing you to not useas much air conditioning.

HEAT THROUGHOUT YOUR HOME.

The best way to do this isto hang your clothes on a

clothesline or clothing rack.


4. SEARCH YOUR HOUSE AND CHECKFOR PLACES WHERE YOUR PRECIOUS

COOL AIR CAN ESCAPE.

inside of your house.

do it outside.

Leave it at the sametemperature - it will actually

work better and cut yourbill down.
