1. Change your A/C filter monthly to help your A/C to run more efficiently

2. Avoid using your stove and oven on hot days. Utilize a slow cooker, instant pot, or your Camden grills instead. Here and here are some great recipe options!

3. Invest in black out curtains or curtains with white backing to help keep your living space cool. These save energy by reflecting heat.  *Bonus - heavier curtains help filter out outside noise*

4. Don't turn your thermostat off while away from your apartment. Program the thermostat to 78 while away instead.

5. Leave your bedroom doors open while away. Your A/C is more efficient if it's not trying to pull air from closed rooms.
