In Louisiana people are more likely to use more energy to cool, rather than to heat, their home. Locating the thermostat out of the sun may keep the unit from overworking. It is important to have humidity in the air during the winter months to prevent drying of skin.

The use of a humidifier will help people feel colder. Adjusting the thermostat is probably the easiest way to reduce energy used for heating and cooling. A mild day is the perfect day to use your heating or cooling system. Closing off unused areas of the house will help the central air and heating unit to run less and thus save on energy costs. You may be wasting money if your heating or cooling system is too large or too small for your house.
