• Close fireplace dampers, windows and doors. Seal the opening to the attic or other un-cooled areas. • Install awnings, keep shades and curtains closed to keep out the heat and sunlight. • Install the air conditioner where its exterior parts will be shaded. • Insulate, particularly the attic floor. Have the attic well ventilated. • Use storms windows and doors or insulated glass. Weather-strip the doors and windows. • Use a higher (warmer) thermostat setting during peak periods or when the area is not occupied. • Dont let heat build up all-day and then try to cool areas quickly. Start the unit earlier in the day and cool areas slowly before they become occupied. • Avoid activities such as baking and the operation of a self-cleaning oven while using your air conditioner during the high heat times of the day. • Do not block the back or the outside of the unit. • Change or clean the filter regularly. Check the airflow for blockage by outside obstructions. • Take care of the unit by havin
