The heat is on! 🔥
While we’re all loving this stretch of amazing summer weather, our air conditioners are working double time to keep things cool. To help your AC stay in top shape-and your home comfortable we’ve rounded up a few simple tips and tricks to get you through the hottest days:
🪟 TIP ONE:
Keep your blinds and curtains closed throughout
the day while away at work. This will block the hot sun from beating into your house, and heating it up. For rooms on lower floors, turn your blinds upwards to prevent rays (and heat) from sneaking through.
🌬️TIP TWO:
During these hot summer months, run your ceiling
fan counterclockwise to draw the cooler air upwards. You can also run your bathroom exhaust fan during the summer months which will help expel the rising warm air to the exterior of your home.
🍗 TIP THREE:
Cook outside more! BBQing and grilling is a great way to help reduce the internal temperature of your house.
You can even move things like your airfryer and toaster oven to the deck! Get outside, get creative, and experiment!
TIP FOUR:
❌ Don’t turn your AC off completely during the day when you’re away at work. When temperatures soar, it takes a lot of energy, effort and efficiency for your AC to cool down your home and get it to a comfortable temperature again.
INSTEAD, set your thermostat a few degrees higher than normal for the day, to help it maintain a reasonable and consistent running temperature. This will also make it much easier to cool off your home by a couple of degrees, rather than a drastic jump.
Last but not least... always have your favourite HVAC company on speed dial for any emergencies!
