Green Tip:

Did you know July kicks off Air-Conditioning Appreciation Days? From July 3rd until August 15th, the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) recognizes Air-Conditioning Appreciation Days to help homeowners realize that “appreciating” and caring for their air conditioners can save them money by conserving energy and ensure its smooth operation during the hottest and most humid summer days. ARI offers a few tips that can help people stay cool at low costs:

·Run fans to keep air moving, so you feel cooler and can cut back air conditioner use.

·Clean and replace the air conditioner’s filter frequently (monthly during heavy use).

·Keep fallen leaves, grass clippings, foliage and other dirt and debris away from your outdoor unit. And keep the air conditioner’s coils clean, following manufacturers instructions.

And if your air conditioner is on the way out, buy an ENERGY STAR® air conditioner, and save up to 10 percent!
