See if you can get away with microwaving your meals more often or meal-prepping so you can easily reheat them without constantly having your oven and stovetop on.
Try getting away with using fans
If you have a high-quality fan to use in your home, that can help you use your air conditioner for shorter periods of time and save a bit of power. You can turn on your air conditioner for a few minutes, turn it off, and then use a fan to let that cold air continue circulating.
Open your windows at night
It’s fairly well-known that the temperature gets cooler at night during the summertime, and in some areas, it can actually get rather chilly at night.
To save some power, keep your air conditioner in better shape, and avoid melting, open your windows at night before bed.
If you need some extra cooling, plug in a fan. Not only will the open windows provide you with a natural breeze, but they’ll help air out your space.
Again, I know how hard it can be to survive the heat in the summertime, especially as someone who’s spent summers in humid cities and boiling southern states.
However, following these tips can help you keep your space a little cooler than usual without solely relying on your air conditioner.
Remember always to stay hydrated, and good luck!
