Cranking up the AC in the summertime can also crank up your electric bill. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we have a few alternative ways to keep your home cool this summer. First, if you still haven’t switched to CFLs for environmental or economic reasons, do it to be cool. Incandescent bulbs waste about 90% of their energy through the heat they emit. Close your window blinds or curtains when you leave to prevent your home from heating up like a greenhouse while you’re gone. Cooking outside on the barbecue keeps you from heating up your home with a stove or oven. For the summer, set your ceiling fan to rotate in a counterclockwise direction to create a cooling, downward airflow. In the winter, turn the setting back to clockwise to recirculate warm air.
