Seasonal Tips

These summertime tips will help you to keep your home cooler and system operating at optimal efficiency.

1. Change your filters monthly.
2. Plant trees or shrubs to shade your outside unit. Make sure not to block air flow.
3. Have a programmable thermostat installed. This allows you to adjust your cooling settings at night and when no one is home.
4. Have an attic fan installed. An attic fan gets rid of trapped super hot air that tends to collect in attics and cause heat to back up into the home.
5. Make sure the fireplace damper is tightly closed.
6. Check your ductwork. If you see holes or separated duct joints call us to repair.
7. Caulk and install weather stripping to keep cool air in.
8. Install shades, drapes or blinds to reflect heat away from the house.
9. Apply reflective films to uncovered and south-facing windows.
