Small Jobs Prevent Big, Expensive Jobs Later
* Take a leaf blower to your air
conditioner's condenser, which
is the large box outside or the
outfacing end of a window unit.
If you blow out the muck and
debris, you could save up to 15
percent on cooling costs.
* Slide your clothes dryer
forward, pull off the vent hose,
and vacuum out the built-up
lint. That can save clothes drying
costs of about 25
percent.
* Check your wooden window
sills for any cracks and chipped
paint. Fill the cracks with caulk
and paint them to prevent wood
rot.
