4) Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air
becomes hot and uncomfortable, to avoid an initial
period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off
the room.
5) When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, use
HIGH or LOW FAN only. This circulates indoor
air, providing some cooling comfort, and utilizes
less electricity than when operating on a cooling
setting.
