Often homeowners think of insulation as a Fall/Winter project and a great way to save money on home heating costs. What a lot of homeowners don’t know is that wall & attic insulation can save you just as much money during the summer months when your AC is keeping your family comfortable. If your home is already insulated and you’re looking for a few great ways to save even more on your home energy costs during the summer months, here are four great DIY tips that can save you money. You can insulate your home and keep a lock on the thermostat but if your ducts are leaking or your filters are clogged, you won’t get the energy savings you deserve this summer.

Clean Your Drains

You should regularly inspect your unit and check for drainage clogs. Open your A/C and pour at least a half gallon of water in the pan and watch as it drains to see that the line is not clogged. Today’s Homeowner has some really great DIY tutorials on this type of maintenance.
Is your A/C unit in an uninsulated attic?
Something as small as a kink in the drainage line can cause the line to freeze and crack. The leaking water can damage not only your unit but your home. Consider adding attic insulation to your home along with your regular A/C maintenance. Modern Xterior has been providing homeowners with affordable home insulation for over 20 years.
