Does it cost more to heat our home in the winter than cooling it in the summer? What is the best...

Shutting a device down when not in use is the best way to save energy. Letting it sleep instead will increase overall electricity consumption and cost more, but only a few cents annually. Desktop computers tend to consume the most energy, so they have the largest potential for energy savings, followed by laptops, tablets, and smart phones.

Hi Rolando, that’s a great question that we get asked by many customers. First of all, it’s important to understand that the on/auto fan switch on your A/C thermostat will affect the price you pay to cool your home. That’s because the A/C fan circulates the cool or warm air throughout your home.

Hi Bernice, this is the age-old question, and is asked time and time again during the summer months as temperatures continue to rise. It’s plain and simple – your A/C is one of the largest energy users in your home and can account for more than half of your energy bill. So when your A/C runs longer, your energy bill is going to be higher.
