Florida summers can really heat things up—and that often means higher electric bills. But the good news is, you don’t have to give up comfort to save money. At Anchor Electric of Florida, we help families just like yours find smart ways to cut energy costs while keeping the cool air flowing.
Here are a few helpful tips to save energy this summer:
🌡️ 1. Use a Smart Thermostat
A smart thermostat can learn your habits and adjust temperatures when you’re not home. You stay comfortable when you need it—and save when you don’t.
Bonus: We install and set these up for you!
🌞 2. Close Blinds and Curtains During the Day
Blocking direct sunlight can help your AC work less. Try keeping blinds or curtains closed during the hottest parts of the day, especially on east- and west-facing windows.
🌬️ 3. Use Ceiling Fans to Help Circulate Air
Fans help spread cool air throughout your home, so your AC doesn’t have to work as hard. Just remember to turn them off when you leave the room—they cool people, not spaces.
🔌 4. Unplug Unused Devices
Electronics like TVs, chargers, and gaming consoles still use power even when they’re off. Unplug what you’re not using, or use a smart power strip to make it easy.
💡 5. Switch to LED Lighting
LED bulbs use far less energy and last much longer than traditional bulbs. They’re a quick and easy upgrade that can reduce your electric bill fast.
🧰 6. Keep Up with Maintenance
A well-maintained HVAC system runs more efficiently. Change filters regularly and consider having it checked before summer hits full force.
