Summer Energy Saving Tips

My most effective energy saver is using the foil like car windshield visors. I cut them to fit my windows (foil side out), and taped up. The cost out of pocket is about 6 bucks.

I also keep liter water bottles frozen in freezer. When heat index gets really high, I supplement the A/C by putting a frozen liter bottle in front of a floor fan blowing on me. I'm really hot natured, and this works great. The window shades almost black out a room, which helps daytime sleepers on the cheap.

I change my A/C filters about every 3 weeks to keep it efficient. I buy a roll of hog hair filter for under 50 dollars and it lasts way over a year.
