Is the summer heat getting to you? Walmart's sale on AC units and fans can help with that
The editors at Yahoo Lifestyle are committed to finding you the best products at the best prices. At times, we may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page.
Late July seems to give us a preview of the hottest summer month ahead. And after two months of enduring the summertime heat, it’s hard to stay sane come month three — especially when cool fall weather is just around the corner.
It’s expensive to combat the hot weather with cooling systems at home, and Americans spend billions of dollars each summer to do just that. Along with investing in window treatments, replacing old air conditioning units or adding a fan to a room can save you massive amounts of cash, according to Petro home services.
If your AC unit is acting up or you notice larger-than-normal summer utility bills, it might be time to replace your devices. It doesn’t have to cost you, though. Right now Walmart is having a sale on some of its most popular air conditioning units and top-rated fans, with savings up to 50 percent off.
Check out some of the best deals from this sale to stay cool for the summer.
