Every Season Is a Season for Energy Savings | Teems Electric

Is there really a season you don’t need to save money in? Extra money in winter is needed for holidays, fall needs renovations, spring is when you start preparing for a summer vacation, and summer is when your children are home more, which means more money is going out.

It seems there is always a need to save money. Fortunately, our team at Teems Electric is here to help you when it comes to saving money on energy this year!

Read on for some ways you can save this season.

Change the Direction of Your Ceiling Fan

Chances are that you probably haven’t thought much about the direction your ceiling fan moves. However, the direction of your ceiling fan can actually make a big difference in the ability to keep your home cool.

Therefore, during the summer months, we recommend changing your ceiling fan’s direction so that it moves counter-clockwise. You want your ceiling fan to be blowing air straight down so that it is better able to keep your home cool without your AC working harder and costing you more money.

Close Out the Sunshine Sometimes

While the sun can be a great motivator to get up and conquer the day, it can also cause the air conditioner in your home to work overtime since the sunlight coming through the windows causes your home to warm up.

So consider closing the drapes during the day so that your house can stay as cool as possible without your air conditioner having to work harder.

Think Cold in the Warmer Months

Although you might think of warmth during the spring and summer, you should actually consider having cold on the brain, especially when it comes to washing clothes.

By washing your clothes in cold water, you can save energy with each wash cycle since 90% of energy used when washing clothes is from heating the water.
