• Weatherproof your home: Use caulk or weather-stripping to seal any leaks around windows and doors that might allow warm air to come in.
• Be smart with meal planning: On hot days, avoid using the oven and other appliances. Fix sandwiches, eat salads or consider grilling outside.
• Use fans: According to the Department of Energy, using a ceiling fan will allow a homeowner to raise the thermostat temperature by four degrees. Be sure to keep them turning counterclockwise in the summer, and turn them off if you aren’t in the room.
• Keep your AC in check: Be sure your vents aren’t covered and always replace dirty air filters. It’s also recommended homeowners schedule a tune-up, as a properly maintained unit will run more efficiently.
• Control your water use: Take short showers rather than long baths, and avoid washing clothes in warm or cold water. The dishwasher also uses less water than hand-washing dishes.

“Homeowners should consider upgrades like programmable thermostats, low-flow faucets and other energy-efficiency choices, but there are many options that homeowners can do on their own and make a noticeable difference in their energy bill,” Akhoian said.
