How much do you run your AC during the summer?

Running your air conditioner at full blast every day during the summer can send your energy bills skyrocketing, so while it’s best to keep it running at a mild level rather than turn it off when out of the house during a heat wave, taking small steps to limit the work your AC does will save you a lot of money in the long run.

For example, leave it off entirely for days that don’t get that hot, and see how much you can get away with a temperature closer to 77 degrees Fahrenheit instead of programming it for maximum cooling.
