The last thing you want to deal besides the scorching summer heat is a high electricity bill at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With hot and sweltering days ahead of us, not switching on the air conditioner every day isn\u2019t something that\u2019s possible. Chicago\u2019s summers are humid and that means that when you step outside, you\u2019ll be sweating out the next heat wave.<\/p>\n

But before you deem it as life being unfair, know that there are plenty of ways you can keep the heat and utility bills down during the summer.<\/p>\n

Set the Temperature to 27\u00b0C<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

While 27\u00b0C may seem like it\u2019s too high, you can lower the humidity on your HVAC system. When humidity is low, temperatures as high at 27\u00b0C become bearable.<\/p>\n

You can even set the temperature to 25\u00b0C. You need to experiment with the temperature and humidity level to see what you\u2019re comfortable with. Every HVAC system is different so the results will also be different.<\/p>\n

But setting the temperature higher than 24\u00b0C (ideally 27\u00b0C) and lowering the humidity level can help reduce energy costs. Your HVAC system won\u2019t be consuming as much energy. It won\u2019t have to work twice as hard to keep your house cool.<\/p>\n

Spend Time Outdoors\"Spend<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

That\u2019s probably the last thing you want to when it\u2019s hot outside! But during the evening when the weather gets better, see if you can hit the beach or go to a water park. You can even work on your laptop at a nearby caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

This will reduce your energy consumption, resulting in low utility bills. When you leave the house, make sure to switch off your HVAC system. Giving it the rest it needs will also ensure that it functions properly.<\/p>\n

Moreover, when your HVAC system isn\u2019t switched on during your time outside, it won\u2019t consume energy but your house will still be cool. So, you can come home and switch it on during the night without worrying about your house heating up.<\/p>\n

We recommend keeping the thermostat\u2019s temperature at 78F (25\u00b0C.)<\/p>\n
