Cooling
Introduction
Depending where you live in the country, cooling
can account for a significant portion of your home's energy bill.
In some southern climates, it can easily account for half, particularly
in homes with air conditioning.
The type of cooling system and the amount it is used will depend largely on local climate. However, the home's characteristics and the resident's personal needs play roles as well.
In this section, we will look at the basic principles
of cooling, some ways to reduce the need for cooling, the major
types of cooling systems, cooling system maintenance tips, and
some easy ways to save energy and money on your cooling bills.
