Energy Saving Ideas
Do not block air flow inside with btinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs,
enclosures, or other buiJdinge.
The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory
operation,
InstalI 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 wail registers so cool air does not escape up the
chimney and into the duct work.
Keep biinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.
Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and CIeaning/'
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 conditioner's
work load.
Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers
during the coolest part of the day.
