A guide from the technicians at Joseph Heating & Cooling.

Set the thermostat to 78 degrees when home and raise it when away. Use ceiling fans in occupied rooms and close blinds on sunny windows.
Replace filters, keep the outdoor coil clean and schedule maintenance twice a year. Seal duct leaks, which can waste a quarter of your cooling.
Check attic insulation, manage humidity so 78 degrees feels comfortable, and consider a smart or programmable thermostat.
If your system is over 12 years old, ask for an efficiency comparison before the next summer.
