3 Ways to Make Your Home More Comfortable This Summer
It’s about that time of year when the weather goes from chilly to disastrously scorching hot! It usually happens in a snap of a finger, so it’s always a good idea to prepare for it ahead of time. Here are a couple of tips from Quality Systems Heating & Cooling for keeping a reasonable temperature when the heat starts to ramp up!
1. Keep Your Blinds Closed in the Afternoon
In the winter, your home's windows do a great job absorbing the sun’s UV Rays and converting them into heat for your home. Unfortunately, the same is true during the summertime. Keeping your blinds closed during the hottest hours of a summer day helps reflect UV rays away from your home’s interior, keeping the temperature more manageable.
2. Air Conditioning Installation & Maintenance
Your air conditioning works half the year, but that half-year, it’s putting in a tremendous amount of effort to keep your home nice and cool during the summer months. Proper care and maintenance are needed for satisfactory performance with so much output in so little time.
AC Repair
If your air conditioning makes odd sounds or isn’t producing the cool air it’s supposed to; then you may want to contact a trusted professional for AC repair before it gets too hot.
AC Replacement
The average AC’s lifespan is about 10-12 years. If your AC is reaching or surpassed that and its performance is suffering, you may want to think about AC replacement before the summer months kick into high gear.
Yearly AC Maintenance
Even if your AC is relatively new, it’s always a good idea to schedule a yearly maintenance check-up. Minor repairs and changing the unit's filter goes a long way in preserving your AC’s lifespan, improving the air quality in your home, and increasing your energy efficiency.
3. Whole-House Air Purifier
Temperature isn’t the only factor in a comfortable home in the summer; indoor air quality is also right up there. Whole-house purifiers help kick out allergy-causing pollen, harmful dust and debris, and other particles in the air that may hinder breathing.
So, when considering the summer weather, keep in mind indoor air quality is essential to a comfortable home!
