ENERGY-SAVING TIPS FOR WARM DAYS |
|
 There
are a number of ways to save energy throughout a warm
September in Calabasas.
A key energy-saving tip is to set thermostats at the highest
comfortable setting. Typical settings are 78 degrees for
summer cooling. Air conditioning operating costs increase
3% to 8% for each degree a thermostat is raised. Make sure
no heat-generating appliances are near the thermostat,
including lamps, televisions, and stereo and computer
equipment.
The easiest way to ensure an air conditioning system is
operating efficiently is by keeping the air filter clean.
Keeping shades and curtains drawn will also reduce radiant
heat from the sun inside homes and businesses. Windows and
doors should always be shut while air conditioning is
running. Replacing older, inefficient windows and doors can
also lower energy costs and will extend the life of an air
conditioning system. Windows with more efficient low-E glass
reduces the sun's warming rays. Please note that a permit
is required when replacing windows and doors. For more home
and business energy saving tips, please visit
www.energysavers.gov.
