Use the air-dry setting on your dishwasher. The heat-dry setting uses more energy & heats up your home, requiring more air conditioning.Turn off lights, and unplug televisions and other equipment when you leave a room. Use power strips to make this quick and easy. Keep out the sun and hot air by making sure your windows and doors are closed tightly. Close blinds or drapes on windows that get direct sunlight. Shade your outside AC units or condensers.
Keep your thermostat within a 20-degree margin of the outside temperature. Remember the "20 degree rule" that air conditioners are designed to cool your home about 15-20 degrees less than the outside temperature. If the difference between the outside temperature and your thermostat setting is more than 20 degrees then your air conditioner will run non-stop!
