Tips to keep house cool and run AC efficiently
Practical steps to reduce heat and boost cooling include blocking sunlight with shades and trees, keeping the outdoor unit clear with 8 inches to 4 feet of clearance, replacing filters every 1 to 3 months, and using automatic fans. Avoid opening windows during AC operation, seal leaks, insulate ducts, install a programmable thermostat, add attic or solar powered fans, and consider light colored roofs to reflect heat.
