Summer is fast approaching, and you may start thinking of having a good time, but that’s not all. You have to prepare for escalating electric bills since your room must remain cool during the season. Of course, you wouldn’t want to experience the sweltering heat that comes with summer.

Here, in South Florida, we face a huge electricity bill for 5 summer months. We need to run our AC round the clock. We got some relief since installing a smart thermostat and installing a better window and door installation.

Spring is here and summer is just around the corner. If you’re a northerner, you might be welcoming the heat since it’s been so cold for the last few months. But, when the weather warms up, guess what also spikes? You got it – your electric bill because of your air conditioning unit.

We are beating the heat with fan

I was born and brought up in India where we grew up without AC. AC was luxury for us. Naturally summer months were not pleasant at all. Perhaps readers from Arizona, Texas or Nevada can understand how it feels like to be without AC at 110 F temperature. In India, that heat was not just a passing wave but, it was a way of life, it still is.
