The biggest money saver was to enroll in SCE.com Summer Discount Plan. They allow you to save up to $200 on your electric bill from the months of June - September. So thats an average of $50 per month. Basically it allows SCE to turn off your AC unit by radio control to help them control the power consumption during peak hours. It's never bothered me cause everyone here all works during the day so we free load off AC at our work. Peak hours are usually when the sun is out of course and we're at work during those times. So why not let SCE pay you for not using your AC anyway.
You can keep your house cool by opening windows at night and closing them in the morning and making sure you close your blinds so that the suns radiation doesn't heat up your room.
Attic fans are a real big help to draw out the hot air. The air in the attack could reach well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Drawing that air out keeps the heat from moving into the living space of your home.
Use aluminum blinds rather than textile blinds because the suns rays shines through textile blinds and heats up the room.
Buy Window fans to help draw cool air into the home at night.
Turn off all electronic entertainment devices that causes a lot of heat. My laptop is a known culprit in heating up my room, but what can you do when I have to use it to write this blog.
Take cold showers regularly and drink ice cold water to stay cool or stay in the first floor of the home. The second floor is usually the hottest because heat rises.
Look into a whole house fan that helps draw cool air from the windows at night and exhausts the hot air out the ceiling
