The summer season does not just translate to hot temperatures and barbecues; it also can mean higher cooling costs. If you run your air conditioner throughout the day, you will experience more expensive energy bills than normal. Here are six reasons why your cooling costs may be high:
You Use Your Oven Too Much
It is nice to cook meals at home to save money, but using your oven too often in the summertime can increase your energy bills.
If you are living on your own for the first time, or are just starting out in married life, you may have questions about when and how to clean your kitchen appliances. How to clean your stove and oven is likely to be one of them. Follow this simple routine to keep your stove clean.
Daily Cleaning
Cleaning cooking spills and splatters after every use will keep your stovetop looking good and operating as it should.
A typical central air conditioner is actually made up of two main components - the indoor air handler that contains the blower fan and evaporator, and the outdoor cabinet that contains the compressor and condenser coil. When one half of this dynamic duo conks out, you'll need to replace both halves.
Considering the average cost of replacing a central A/C system, that could be a rather hard pill to swallow. However, the cost of replacing only half of your cooling system could cost you more than you'd realize.
