Show i r Summer Comfort Air conditioning, proper insulation and correct home maintenance can keep you cool even if the temperature soars. The consulting Engineers Council of Utah offers these suggestions for summer comfort. 1. Hot air should be kept out of the house. Windows and doors should be closed and weatherstripped to prevent hot air from leaking in. Storm windows should be kept in place. 2. A house should be well insulated. , 3.

The . units, designated Watt-Wis- e models, start at 5,500 BTUH a, id cover a range of cool and .ill provide an output of 8 BTUs per watt or betier. (Some areas of the country are expressing BTU per watt as ing capacities, Energy Efficiency Ratio EER ) Because the new mom air conditioners require less electrical ontvgy to produce drapes or reflect solar and draperies rrr i j . t given amounts of cooling than standard models of comparable capacity, they cost , less to operate and help conserve power.

The thermostat on the unit should be set at about 73 degrees. Keep the unit running continually at a low speed rather than turning it on and off. Start the unit early in the morning. 6. Air conditioners should be properly maintained and lubricated. Filters should be checked every 30 days and cleaned or replaced as needed. 7. If you dont have an air conditioner, an intake fan on the cool side of the house and an exhaust fan on the warm side can still help you keep cool. r. r COUNTT heat.
