Energy Saving Ideas
•Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
•The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory operation.
•Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
•Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up the chimney and into the duct work.
•Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
•Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning.”
•Proper insulation and water stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool air in.
•External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner’s work load.
•Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
