Electricity rates are going up this summer for Met-Ed<\/a><\/strong> customers. And with this summer promising to be hot, you can expect high electricity usage. If you\u2019re looking for ways to cut your bill<\/a>, we\u2019ve got you covered. Here\u2019s some of the best summer home maintenance tips to cut your Met-Ed<\/strong> electricity<\/a> bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met-Ed AC Tips: Fans Save Energy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Did you know the biggest electricity draw in our homes is heating and cooling?<\/a> If you want to save money, you only want to run your AC when you really need it. Fans can help with that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First you want to make sure your ceiling fans are prepped for the summer<\/a>. You can do this by making sure they are clean, in working order, and turning the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, use box fans wisely. When not running your AC, place one facing out of the window to push hot air out during the day. At night, turn the fan around to blow cool night air into your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key thing to remember with these Met-Ed fan tips is that a fan works best by evaporating sweat from your skin. This cools your body naturally. Since you<\/em> feel cooler, you can set your AC temperature higher. That will help you save money. However, a fan won\u2019t actually lower the temperature of your home. So, when you\u2019re not in the room with a fan, be sure to turn it off to conserve electricity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met-Ed Insulation Tips: Keep Out the Summer Heat <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Keeping the heat out and stopping air leaks<\/a> is important to lowering your electricity bill and keeping your home comfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the day, keep your windows closed<\/a> and covered as much as possible. This is an easy way to keep the heat out. But the covering matters. Insulated cellular shades or window quilts are the best choice, lowering your AC cost<\/a> by about 30%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also want to weatherize your windows<\/a> and doors. Consider sealing drafts with caulking or weatherstripping. You can also install storm doors or windows to help add an additional layer of insulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, check your attic to make sure it is air sealed and well insulated<\/a>. By upgrading your attic insulation, you can save you nearly 15%<\/a> on heating and cooling bills!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintain Your AC to Save on Electric Bills <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here’s one of biggest Met-Ed<\/strong> savings tips: don\u2019t forget the AC maintenance! Running your AC efficiently will help reduce electricity usage and save you from uncomfortable heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, check your system’s blower filter. A dirty filter can increase your AC energy use by up to 15%<\/a>. That gets expensive! Not to mention dirty filters can increase allergens and dust in the air. Replace your filters once a month for best results. You can also consider buying air filters that you clean and reuse to save over the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, clean evaporator and condenser coils<\/a>. These collect dirt and debris over time and can reduce your AC cooling power. Also, be sure to keep the area around the outdoor condenser free from foliage to help with air-flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, consider signing up for an annual HVAC system check up. Professional HVAC technicians can check for leaks, clean your unit, check thermostat accuracy and replace coolant if necessary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
