Serving all of Brevard County, FL
Summer is here, and with it, blisteringly hot temperatures here in Florida. This might be the ideal weather for outdoor fun and refreshing swims in the pool or ocean…but it's also a time when we rely on our AC unit to keep us cool, safe, and comfortable indoors.
Below are a few AC tips you can employ all summer long, aiding in keeping you and your family cool and comfortable all season.
1. Seal Up Windows and Doors
Windows and doors are a leading cause of energy loss in the home, letting hot air in, and cool air out. Consider weather stripping or professional sealing.
2. Shades or Blackout Curtains
Shades and/or blackout curtains are a great way to keep out blazing hot sunlight from seeping into your home and heating up the space.
3. AC Tune-Up
Getting your AC unit professionally inspected and tuned up is a great way to ensure it will be operating at peak performance day in and day out, no matter how hot it gets outside.
4. Fans
The use of fans can help to circulate cool air from the AC unit, while also aiding in cooling and reducing the load on your AC system.
5. Cooking Habits
During the summer, try to limit excessive use of the stove and oven, a leading contributor of heat in indoor spaces.
