Bright Ideas – August 2022
August 2022When you save energy, you save money. Check back here each month for new ways to make your home or business more energy efficient.
If your home is feeling uncomfortably warm — and your utility bill is unexpectedly high — during these sweltering summer months, consider checking your air filter. Because the air conditioning system is running more frequently in longer cycles this time of year, more particles and dust are being sucked into the filter that could be clogging the airflow.
A dirty air filter can cause issues other than just a higher utility bill. A dirty filter can also affect the air quality inside the home, possibly making the air stagnant and unhealthy. Professionals recommend changing the air filter every 3 months, but during the summertime, it’s best to keep an eye on yours and change as needed.
