Energy conservation not only means going green … it means saving green, too! And with Earth Day coming on April 22, it’s a great time to practice energy conservation.
Here are 3 tips from Harris Comfort to begin with:
- Open windows to let the fresh air in. A good rule of thumb is to open windows when the outside temperature is cooler than the inside of your house.
- Set your ceiling fans’ blades to spin counterclockwise and at a higher speed. This direction creates a, downdraft, producing a “wind chill” effect that makes you feel cooler without actually lowering the room temperature.
- As part of your spring cleaning, clean your refrigerator coils. Dirty coils, which are often located behind a grille, prevent heat from escaping, forcing the unit to work harder and use more electricity.
