HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO TRY TO HELP KEEP THE COST OF COOLING DOWN THIS SUMMER.
--SCHEDULE AN ANNUAL CHECKUP FOR YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
--CHECK OR REPLACE THE AIR FILTER ONCE A MONTH.
--WHEN REPLACING AN AIR CONDITIONER, LOOK FOR THE HIGH EFFICIENCY EQUIPMENT. HOMEOWNERS CAN SAVE AS MUCH AS 20% ON ANNUAL ENERGY COSTS IF THIS NEW EQUIPMENT IS PROPERLY SIZED AND INSTALLED, ALONGSIDE PROPERLY SEALED AND INSULATED DUCTS.
--SEAL UP GAPS AND CRACKS IN YOUR HOME. ADD INSULATION IF NEEDED. THIS WILL HELP REDUCE ENERGY BILLS THROUGHOUT THE WINTER, TOO.

JUST A REMINDER...

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ADDRESS ON ALL YOUR CHECKS AND BILLS IS OAK LEAF AND NOT RED OAK. DUE TO THE FACT THAT OVILLA, GLENN HEIGHTS, RED OAK AND OAK LEAF ALL HAVE THE SAME ZIP CODE, THERE IS MUCH CONFUSION AT THE POST OFFICE AND UTILITY COMPANIES OVER WHICH ADDRESSES BELONG TO WHICH CITY. MORE CONFUSION RESULTS BECAUSE OF SAME NAMED STREETS IN THE VARIOUS MUNICIPALITIES. THIS ALSO MEANS THAT YOUR TAXES AND FRANCHISE FEES COULD BE SCRAMBLED. PLEASE CHECK ALL YOU STATEMENTS AND BILLS TO INSURE THAT YOUR ADDRESS STATES OAK LEAF.
