Six Ways to Save Money and Stay Cool

6. Get Out of the House

The simplest way to reduce your cooling costs is not to cool your house during the hottest parts of the day.

Hot days are excellent times to do errands. If you can resist spending, a trip to the mall to window-shop will keep you cool at no cost. You can also go to the movies, which will get you out of the house and the heat. Another great place to spend the hot afternoon hours is at your local library.

By taking these simple steps, you should be able to significantly cut the costs associated with cooling your house, without suffering from the summer heat.
