There are simple and inexpensive steps you can take to help you save energy and money during the summer months.

SUN BLOCK. Half of all of the heat that enters your home comes in through the windows. Closing curtains, blinds and shades will keep the sun's hot rays out of your house. Save up to 15 percent on your cooling bill by shading west-facing windows, which absorb the most afternoon sun. For the hottest parts of your house, consider installing an awning or planting trees in front of the window to shade the house.

QUICK CHANGE. A filter for your air conditioning system costs only dollars (about $5) per month during the summer. Dirty air conditioning filters prevent air flow and make the air conditioning system work harder. That means a higher bill.
