I have found that the summer heat can put a huge damper on my AC bill and my AC doesn’t seem to want to shut off since it can’t keep up with this boiling heat that we are having this summer.
I have become accustomed to the heat and wear very few clothing when I am inside of my home so that I can keep the air turned up so that it doesn’t run constantly.
The less Clothes the More Comfortable:
I wear short shorts and wife beater type shirts. I found a kiddie pool at a yard sale and filled it up for the kiddos and let them loose so that they could keep cool as well.
Cooking all at Once to Beat the Heat:
I have found that cooking dinners all at once and then refrigerating them really helps so that I am not making it even hotter by cooking each night and who really needs hot meals anyways, a sandwich for lunch is always a good idea especially when you have a huge family like mine.
If you choose to do this, set aside one day a week to do it and cook early in the morning so that your house doesn’t get too hot.
Cook Out Instead of In:
If you are able to, grill as much as possible. Grilling is a great way to keep the heat out of your home and it will also lower some of your other bills. Besides, don’t you just love the taste of grilled food. We usually grill enough to have for lunch the next day so that we kill two birds with one stone.
Speaking of which, I have to get my toosh moving so that I can get my list of what I’m going to be cooking for the week.
What are some ideas that you use to keep your Air conditioner bill down?
