At Itexas Electric we are often
asked about the cheapest way to
operate a central air conditioning
unit and still be comfortable.
Here’s what we recommend.
• Keep the temperature at 78°
or higher. Each degree below that
causes the unit to use about 5%
more energy.
• Leave your air conditioner’s fan
switch in .the “auto” position. This
way the fan only comes on when
it’s needed.
• Finally, before you leave the
house, turn your air conditioner
switch to “off!’ Even though your
house may be warmer when you
return, you won’t be paying to air
condition an empty house while
you were gone.
For more energy-saving ideas
and answers to your questions, call
Ttexas Electric and arrange
to attend an "

workshop in 2
