Energy saving tip: Clean your air conditioner filters weekly. Run them under water to clean off all dust and particles. A dirty filter prevents air flow which makes your unit work harder. Keeping the filters clean can save you 5-15% of the energy being used. Save even more by shading your outside unit. Add landscaping to prevent direct sunlight. Good for your unit, the environment, your budget and your air quality.
