The Independent, Canadian Statesman Weekender, Bowmanville, Saturday, April 2,1994 25 Advice on Air Conditioning DEEDS Although once a home luxury, central air conditioning is now considered considered essential here, as well as in many other regions of the United States. In fact, almost two out of three American homes have either room or central air conditioners, according to the Edison Electric Institute and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, two national electric utility trade associations. When selecting an air conditioner, conditioner, buy the most energy efficient unit you can afford. An energy-efficient energy-efficient unit may cost more, but it will pay you back every month in lower electric bills. After "that, the savings continue every month. Energy-efficient air conditioners will also help the environment, because less electricity will be needed to cool the same space. Nationwide, this means less fossil fuels will be burned by utilities to generate electricity. And this keeps the air we breath cleaner for everyone. everyone. Therefore, getting thé most use from every kilowatt of electricity is good for your monthly electric bill, and for the environment Energy Efficiency Ratings When selecting a home cooling system, be sure to compare the federal federal government's "EnergyGuide" label on the system you're considering considering with those of others. The label will state how energy efficient the unit you are considering is. It will also detail how much it will cost to run over the course of a year, based on varying hours of use and cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity. Here are some important electricity-saving electricity-saving tips to follow when using your central or room air conditioner: conditioner: • Changing the air conditioner's filters every month or two, depending depending on how dirty they are. You should be able to see light clearly through the filter. If not, it is dirty. • Properly weatherproof your home. Weatherstripping doors and windows, and adding attic insulation, insulation, if necessary, keeps the hot air outside. • Consider home improvements such as installing reflecting glass windows, double-pane windows, and awnings to reduce heat gain from the Sun. • During the day, keep curtains drawn and shades pulled over windows windows facing east, west, and south. • Move furniture away from the air registers, allowing for the free flow of cooled air. • Most air conditioners can cool a house or a room in half an hour. So don't leave them running if you are away for a long period. Consider a set-back thermostat that will turn the unit on à half hour before you are due home. • Run kitchen and bath exhaust fans sparingly. These get rid of odors, but they also rob your house of cool air. • Set your thermostat to a minimum minimum of 78 degrees or higher--the highest point at which you still are comfortable.
