You can help lower your electric bill this summer by scheduling annual maintenance for your air conditioner. This will allow us to fully check the system and complete any adjustments that will make your system more efficient. In addition, you can invest in a programmable thermostat to help cool your home only when you need to. If your air conditioner is reaching the end of its life, you can also consider replacing it with a higher-efficiency model before summer hits to help you save money.
