Save On Your Cooling Bill This Summer!
With the heat and humidity returning to New Jersey, you need to be sure that your air conditioner can make it through the entire summer. How will you be able to stay cool while saving on your energy bills during the next few months? Here are a few tips to lighten your air conditioner’s load this summer.
Air Seal & Add Insulation
Your home is supposed to protect and separate you from the elements. Unfortunately, if your home’s building envelope isn’t tightly sealed then air and heat will readily pass through. While this might not seem like something you need to concern yourself with, small gaps and cracks and poor insulation contribute to higher energy bills, discomfort, and even poor indoor air quality.
By air sealing and installing high-performance insulation like cellulose or spray foam, particularly in the attic and walls, you’ll increase your home’s energy efficiency. This means you’ll see a noticeable difference in comfort levels, especially during the summer and winter. You’ll also be able to reduce the need for extreme air conditioning and heating, helping to lower your monthly bills.
Lighten Home Energy Usage
Upgrading your home’s building envelope with air sealing and insulation is a worthy project. However, you’ll need a professional home performance contractor to do the work. If there are changes you’d like to make on your own to lighten your air conditioner’s load, you should focus on reducing the amount of energy you’re using at home in general.
Begin by turning off and even unplugging appliances and lighting when not in use. It may also help to use any appliances which may generate excess heat or humidity during cooler times of the day. For example, it will help to use an outdoor grill instead of further heating up the kitchen with the stove or oven.
