I read an article today in the Huffington Post that gave a unique way to save money on your air conditioning costs. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nick-rosen/how-to-cool-down-while-po_b_673217.html
It said to create a cold room in your house and then turn the thermostat up a couple of degrees. It didn’t really talk about how to make the cold room, but this is one way you could do it, I would think. Create the room in the center of your house, preferably with a couple of walls between you and the outside and away from entrances and exits. Close the vents. Insulate that room the best you can from any drafts. I wish I could test this to see how it would work. Both my wife and daughter have asthma and if they get too hot then they start coughing their heads off, which eventually leads to a full blown asthma attack. So saving money on the air conditioning is one expense that I don’t worry about. If you think you would like to do this in your home I would love for you to comment below and let us know how it goes. Let us know if you ran into any obstacles, did it work and most importantly did it save money and if so how much.
Enjoy your Friday.
