With each day feeling like it’s getting hotter, people are looking for ways to keep their homes cool this summer without running up their electricity bill.
Two Rivers Regional Council Weatherization Director Jon Vrandenburg says they key is to keep the heat that’s outside from coming inside.
Vrandenburg explains, “Close your windows, seal all the holes you can find and then run your air conditioner, and its really about finding that balance of what works best to keep you comfortable and to be energy efficient.”
He says if you can afford to invest in energy efficient appliance, it will save you money in the long run.
He also says when it comes to running your fans, they only cool off your body and not the room.
He says turning them off when you’re not home could cut down on cost over time.
