•
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
