Shallow Pocket Tips:
Remember that most AC units are not able to cool your home to be more than 20* lower than the outside temperature. Rather than trying to get you home to be 68* when it is 90* outside, set your AC to 77* and turn on some fans. Trying to cool your home by a significant difference will result in your AC working extremely hard and will cost you much more than it will to run a fan along with your AC.
Big vacation not in your budget? Make some memories at home. Visit some favorite local places or check out some new spots you have always wanted to explore. Perhaps, plan a midnight picnic in the backyard or invite some friends over for a water day.
Still need a vacation? Consider going somewhere after Labor Day. Typically, you can lower rates and will not have to deal with all the crowds, too!
And, while it’s hard to believe, Christmas is not that far away! Be sure to start shopping now to get some great gifts. Many stores will have big sales to move products out for the next season.
