Summer is here and so is the heat! This had made many of us run to turn on our air conditioners, but have you thought about how flipping that switch is going to affect your electric bill? Lucky for you I have some low to no cost ways to save on air conditioning.

One easy trick is to use fans instead of air conditioners. Continuous moving air can often make the room feel much cooler and more comfortable. This will help your A/C by moving around the cold air, helping it cool down the large area as well as make it feel cooler. Something better then a stationary fan is ceiling fans, they do a much better job at dispersing air, therefore making your A/C more efficient. Another great way to save on air conditioning is to increase the thermostat on your unit. You can spend some time finding the most tolerable temperature instead of instantly setting it to the lowest temperature available. According to research even just setting your thermostat at 78 degrees instead of 72 can save you as much as 18% on your cooling costs.

Another simple way to save on air conditioning is avoiding turning on anything inside your home that generates heat such as your oven, dishwasher or even dryer. During the summer we do most of our cooking outside on the grill, not only does it cut down on heat inside our home, it also eliminates some dishes. Along with not running the major appliances that generate heat, there are many small electronics in our homes that generate a lot of heat, such as gaming consoles, computers and other things that are running constantly. Another things we can do to avoid letting in heat from the outside is to make sure all the windows are closed tight, and covered by light colored window treatments such as shades and curtains.

Another way to save on air conditioning during the hot summers is to make sure your air conditioner is well maintained. A dirty and clogged air conditioner blocks air flow which forces your unit to work harder, which makes it use more energy. Make sure that while you’re using your A/C unit you clean or change the filters once a month. If you have a central air system, making sure to keep the vents free of clutter and cleaned can make a big difference in it’s efficiency and energy consumption. Be sure to be int ouch with your HVAC company to set up a maintenance program to keep things clean and running at peak efficiency.

There are a number of things you can due during the hot days to save on air conditioning and energy. Contact 207 Plumbing and Heating today to make sure that your HVAC unit is clean and running at peak performance. Let’s all do what we can to save on energy, your cooling costs and help cool the planet.

Is finding the right contractor keeping you from starting you next home or business project? Are you unsure of what to look at when you’re trying to select the right contractor? When selecting the right contractor for your specific project your selection should be based on their customers service, references, proven experience and skill and then on price. Working with a contractor is like building a relationship and partnership seeing as this will be someone you will be working with very closely for several weeks or months. It is important that you feel satisfied and comfortable with your contractor. A number of homeowners make the mistake of trying to select their contractor based purely on price, which can lead to a painful process, laden with inferior products and craftsmanship.

When choosing the right contractor be sure to pay attention to cues that you are being listened to, your questions are being answered and concerns are being heard. You should be leading the contractor as you tell them about your vision for your dream project. They suggestions should only reflect back what you described, with some improvements. No small is a small job, something that seems small does have the potential to be fraught with complications. Making it just as important to make sure that you’re choosing the right contractor. One place to start researching your potential contractor is online, a good contractor should have a professional looking site, displaying pictures of recent projects, and custom testimonials.

When you finally have a list of potential contractors be sure that you’re prepared with questions that will make them express their knowledge and working style. A good contractor will be able to speak with technical expertise, and express their vision and process clearly. One step that is emphasized not to skip is to do the work of checking their professionals references, make sure that they’ve followed through with projects in the past, and check to see if they have a history of staying on budget. One contractor that you should “interview” for you next project is Nautilus Construction, these design build professionals, I think that you will find they meet a long of the criteria I mentioned above. Give them a call to schedule a meeting to find out if you and these professionals will work well together.
