Hey guys! Summer’s coming fast, and my energy bills were brutal last year. I want to keep my place cool without running the AC non-stop. Anyone got tips or ideas for cooling your home more efficiently without blowing your budget?

Totally get you! One thing that helped me was switching to a ductless split system. It cools specific zones so you’re not wasting energy on unused rooms. Also, using blackout curtains and sealing window leaks made a big difference.
