How To Keep Cool During The Heat
By CYNTHIA A. HUNTER
Duke Power Consumer
Product Specialist
Special To Herald
Feeling beat by the heat?
Slow down. Sip some
lemonade. Picture snow-
capped mountain peaks.
Then turn on your air condi-
tioner and relax.
“You really can stay com-
.fortable and conserve energy
,at the same time,
said
Kathryn Blanton, manager of
consumer products and
education for Duke Power
Co. “The amount of energy
you can save depends on how
you use your air
conditioner.”
Here are some tips for get-
ting the greatest efficiency
from your room air condi-
tioner: *
*Place your air conditioner
in a center window rather
than a corner window to max-
imize cool air circulation.
eSet your unit’s ther-
mostate at the desired set-
ting. Setting it lower than
normal will not cool the room
more quickly, and will result
in wasted energy if you forget
to correct the setting.
It’s important to keep the
filter clean, as a dirty filter
will obstruct air flow and
reduce the unit's efficiency.
Simply remove the filter
(normally located behind the
front panel), and wash it with

soap and water, or replace it,
according to the manufac-
turer’s instructions.
*The cooling fan facing the
room, the fan facing outdoors
and coils should also be
vacuumed occasionally to
prevent dirt buildup.
eSet your thermostate as
warm as comfort will permit.
Duke Power recommends 78
degrees. According to Blan-
ton, customers use approx-
imately three to five percent
more electricity for each
degree they lower the setting.
“If you normally set your air
conditioner at 72 degrees,”
Blanton explains, ‘‘you can
reduce your energy use by as
much as 30 percent by raising
the setting to 78 degrees.”
eBecause cool air is
heavier than warm air, it
sinks to the floor. If heating
registers are near the floor,
close them to prevent cool air
from escaping through the
ducts.
eAir conditioners operate
most efficiently in cool loca-
tions, such as the north or
shaded sides of your home.
*Cut down on the sun’s heat
by keeping blinds and drapes
closed during the day.
*Close doors to unused
rooms to keep cooled air in
areas where it is most need-
ed.
If it’s cooler outdoors than
indoors, open windows and
doors rather than running
your air conditioner. Or set
the unit to “fan” in order to
circulate air without the ex-
pense of the cooling com-
pressor. :
*Avoid leaving lights or ap-
pliances on during the heat of
the day. They add heat to
rooms.
oIf you plan to be away
from home for more than a
couple of hours, turn the ther-
mostate up several degrees.
eIf you're considering ad-
ding another room air condi-
tioner or replacing the pre-
sent unit, contact your local
Duke Power office. A
marketing representative
will be gladl to advise you on
the most efficient and cost-
effective choices.
*Care and operation of cen-
tral units will differ slightly
from that of room air condi-
tioners. For information on
your central air conditioner,
contact your local Duke
Power office.
