Don't Let the End of Summer Spike Your Energy Bill

Don\'t Let the End of Summer Spike Your Energy Bill - Image 1

August in Northeast Ohio often brings cooler nights, but don't be fooled, humid afternoon air can still overwork your AC. If your home is under-insulated and not energy-efficient, your utility bills can climb quickly. 

 

Why Late Summer Energy Costs May Rise

  • Lingering heat and humidity that make your AC run longer 
  • Air leaks around windows, doors and attic spaces letting outside air in
  • Poor insulation that does not prevent air infiltration
  • Older HVAC system that struggles to keep up 

 

Ways to Keep Heating and Cooling Bills in Check

  • Air sealing gaps and cracks around your home, especially your attic, will regulate indoor temperatures 
  • Upgrading wall and attic insulation prevents drafts and reduces strain on your AC
  • Install a Programmable Thermostat to adjust settings for certain times your away, asleep or on vacation
  • Service your HVAC system to ensure maximum efficiency and repair possible issues with the system
