Try using Sleep Mode to gradually relax room temperature and allow the unit to run less and save energy. 2. Curtains and shades: In the summer, you need to block the effects of the sun. Close window curtains and shades on the south and west side of your home to help block solar heat. In winter, the sun is your friend.
