Energy Efficiency

How to Lower Your Cooling Bill in a Mississippi Summer

The largest savings come from restoring lost capacity rather than from thermostat tricks. Clean coils, correct airflow, sealed ducts, and a properly charged system reduce run time far more than a few degrees of setback in a climate where the system runs most of the day.

Highest impact first

Seal duct leaks, especially return leaks pulling hot attic or crawl space air into the system
Clean the outdoor coil so the system can reject heat on hot afternoons
Restore airflow with a properly sized filter and a clean blower and evaporator coil
Verify refrigerant charge, since both undercharge and overcharge waste energy
Add attic insulation where it is thin, which reduces the load the system has to meet

Habits that help and habits that do not

Helps: setting the fan to auto instead of on
Helps: using ceiling fans in occupied rooms, then turning them off when you leave
Helps: modest, consistent setpoints rather than large daily swings
Does not help: closing vents in unused rooms, which raises static pressure
Does not help: setting the thermostat far lower to cool the house faster

Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to leave the AC at one temperature all day?

In a humid climate with long cooling seasons, a modest setback of a few degrees while away is usually worthwhile, while very deep setbacks can cost more in humidity recovery than they save in run time.
