Read on for a few tips to save energy during hot weather:
The sun’s rays are your home’s nemesis. Not only can sunlight damage your wooden furniture and discolor fabrics, it may also drive up your house’s internal temperature. This can force your already overworked A/C to put in a second shift and hit you with a hefty utility bill.
Simply by closing your blinds during the day, you may be able to save money in cooling costs. Investing in thicker blinds that block out more UV rays will net you further savings in the long run.
Air conditioners are under constant stress during the summer. This can lead to system failure, leaving you to sweat it out in the sauna that was once your comfortable home. Regular maintenance and repair can save you the headaches of unexpected downtime. It may also extend the life of your air conditioning unit while ensuring it is running efficiently.
With the Gold Star Comprehensive Maintenance Agreement, our technicians will monitor and maintain your heating and cooling equipment to ensure your systems won’t break down and plunge you into a sweaty situation.
Depending on the type of air conditioner you have, your system may rely on a series of vents situated throughout your home to keep your rooms cool. Check to see if your furniture is blocking this vital ductwork, and move obstructions to ensure you aren’t wasting energy on cooling the back of your couch.
