How to run AC cheaply ?

I am new and never been to Dominican Republic. My wife has. We are in process of purchasing a 3 bedroom house in Bravos.聽 The house has 4 AC units.聽 From what I seen online cost of living articles AC can cause very high electric bill. It also stated Americans need to learn better way of using AC.聽

My question is what is the best way to use AC to keep house cool but not have a $1,000 electric bill.

First you want an "inverter" style air conditioner!聽 聽They are more energy efficient.


Always use ceiling fans when you run your a/c.聽 It helps you feel cooler so you use聽 higher temps on the air con units.


In all my bedrooms I use black out curtains,聽 they stay closed聽 24/7 to keep out the heat and the light!聽 I keep my bedroom door shut all the time!聽 My bedroom stays cooler that way and I use less a/c.聽


Hope those聽 help.

Also, try running your unit on dehumidify - it's more energy efficient than AC and is often all you need. Even during the hottest months, we often just needed to lower the humidity to have the bedroom cool enough for comfortable sleep.

I do that often and it does make the room much more comfortable.
