Choosing the right window air conditioning unit for your room will help keep you cool and save energy when the weather heats up. Here are three important factors to consider when buying a new AC:
Seal leaks in your home's attic, basement, or crawlspace
Vents, ducts, or electrical wires often have holes or gaps around them which can allow the air in your home to escape, increasing your energy bill and causing more drafts in your house. Seal small gaps with caulk and holes up to 3 inches in diameter with spray foam. Homeowners typically save up to $200 a year in heating and cooling costs by air sealing their homes and adding insulation.
