Using a timer on your air conditioner to save money
Posted on July 9th, 2007 by Financial Diva
Think that it costs more money to turn your air conditioner off and then turn it on again? You’d be wrong! And using a timer is a great way to take advantage of this fact.
Have your air conditioner turn off shortly before you leave the house for work each day, and then turn back on about a half hour before you are scheduled to return home at the end of the day. And as an added tip, be sure to close off any rooms you generally don’t use in a day, so that you aren’t paying to keep a seldom used third bedroom cool too.
You will probably want to use a timer that allows you to program by day of the week, so that you can have it turn off on days you are at work but stays on when you plan to be home.
