High Electric Bill.

By
Mortgage and Lending with LICENSE IS NOT PLACED

If you think your electric bill is too high, This is what I did and I am already benefiting from it.

I have a Sun Room on the back of my house. It is on the side the the sun rises. I ordered tint from Ebay. Good tint and not that expensive. I asked my best friend to help me and together we tinted all of the windows in that room. I then tinted the windows on that sie of the house. It is in the back so it doesn't look out of the ordinary. This helped to reduce the temperature . I can still slide the windows open. So, I have bright light when I want it.

My home is 20 years old. I checked the air handlers for the air conditioners(20 years old). The condensers outside (10 years) 10 seer. I got some estimates and had them replaced. Now I have new 13 seer units and I can tell a difference. They cool faster and they don't run as often. I reviewed my electric statement from last year almost $100.00 saving over last year.

I am not an air conditioning salesperson. I just can't see throwing away money.

Wow! What a great idea! I love the summer time but hate what it does to my electric bill. I'm starting to wonder if squirrels are getting into the duct space and closing the vent ways! LOL... Maybe I should try the tinting instead of going squirrel hunting? August is coming, and my bill goes up and up and up, and peaks in August here in Florida. (Without changing the thermostat differently) I'll try this, thanks!

Great advice. I bought some solar screens and they have helped too.
