Tips to Keep You Cool This Summer

 

Summer is a great time to enjoy the warm weather and spend time with your friends and family. Did you know that 55% percent of Americans will go on vacation this Summer? Not only that, but this month (July) is the busiest vacation month of the Summer! With all of these activities and trips taking place this Summer, the last thing you want to do at the end of the day is walk into a warm, stuffy home. Nothing like a nice welcome home present, huh? Don’t let this happen to your family – follow Heat & Air Controllers tips to keep cool this Summer!

 

• One of the easiest and most efficient ways to keep your HVAC system working properly is to change your air filters every month. Just by doing this, you can save up to 15% on your utility costs!

• Another simple tip to keep your home from getting hot is to keep your blinds and shades closed during the day. If sun can shine into your windows, then it will heat the air in your home and make your air conditioner work harder to cool it off.

• Make sure to switch all your ceiling fans to a counterclockwise direction. This allows your fan to push cool air in a downward direction, giving your rooms a consistent cool airflow.

• Consider investing in a programmable thermostat. One of these will allow you to program temperatures for different parts of the day. For example, while you are at work, your thermostat could raise the temperature to help lower your utility bills. This also keeps your air conditioner from running when it doesn’t need the stress (because you aren’t home!)

• Have your indoor and outdoor units cleaned periodically. Debris can collect on your fan blades and evaporator coil over time, so keeping them clean ensures that your unit is running efficiently!

 

Of course, these are only precautionary measures to keeping your HVAC system running properly. However, units can break and lose strength over time, so repairs and replacements are still needed. Whether your unit needs a repair or you are considering investing into a new, high-efficiency unit, give Heat & Air Controllers a call!
