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 filters as recommended in the sectionCare and Cleaning.
Proper insulation and weather 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 conditioners work
load.
Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers during
the coolest part of the day.
