Summer heat brings high-energy costs, as homeowners spend about $29 billion a year to power their air conditioners. Saving energy means saving money, as much as 20 percent on utility bills, and possibly more. Making simple upgrades to your existing home will help you to stay cool while cutting down on the cooling costs associated with this time of year.
