Venting Lowers Cholesterol. And Electric Costs. You'd be mad not to vent your clothes dryer to the outside. Of course, there are plenty of other ways to save on your air conditioning costs as well.
	1. If you're gone for an extended period, leave your air conditioner off. Don't pay to keep your furniture nice and cool.
	2. Keep air conditioner filters clean. Aluminum mesh filters may be washed. Fiberglass filters should be replaced.
	3. Keep air vents clear of obstructions.
	4. Close the drapes on the sunny side of the house during the day. If it's sunny at night, we're all in trouble and you can just toss this brochure right out.
	5. Leave storm windows and doors in place when the air conditioner is on.
	6. Set the thermostat to the highest comfortable temperature. We're not suggesting you break a sweat, but even a 1degree change can save you money.
	7. If you cool with window units, place them on the north side of the house when possible, clear vents of obstructions, shut doors to unused rooms, and close floor or wall registers used for heating. Relax. It took more effort to read this paragraph than it will take to follow through on the suggestions. Really.
