Check out these 5 Summer Energy Saving Tips…
The summer weather is no joke, especially here in South Florida. It is HOT, which seems like an understatement because some of the days have been real scorchers. On days such as those, the idea of staying inside the house sounds like the perfect way to spend the day, am I right?
Indoor activities at home can be fun but that means the air conditioner is running longer than it normally would be to keep us cool. That means we are consuming more energy and our electricity bill will be higher during the summer months. So, here are some energy conservation tips that may just help you keep your electricity bill lower.
Here are 5 of my favorite Summer Energy Saving Tips
- Maintain proper airflow by keeping interior doors and vents open to help air circulate.
- Clean or replace your A/C filter regularly to help your unit run more efficiently.
- Use a fan to cool the room you’re in, but turn it off when you leave.
- Close shades, blinds and drapes to keep the sun’s heat out.
- Grill outside instead of using the oven or stove to help keep your kitchen cool (and therefore your house cool).

Great post, thanks!
We conserve energy by using celiing fans!
Great post!
We turn the thermostat up to 82 when we are not home during the work week. We also use power strips to turn off appliances or electronics not in use. And definitely use fans to keep the house cool.
In Winter , my kids get the same thing I did growing up, furnace no higher than 65 & a good supply of sweaters, thick socks , warm slipper & fleece throws to keep you from freezing
Not a FLP customer. Far north where we do not have all that heat.
thanks for the chance
Summer heat is a big concern for me. I’m trying to avoid using a/c this summer.
These are great tips. We grill a lot outside and I also use the slow cooker.
Wonderful tips, helps with the budget really.. It gets warm here but no where near the temperature florida gets.. but yeah good to know
What great tips! My favorite tip is grilling outside as much as possible in the summertime!
I like to use my ceiling fans and use room darkening curtains to help keep the sun out.
I will definitely implement these ideas.
