HOT WEATHER TIPS!!!!
The cozy comfort team is here to make sure you stay calm, cool, and collected while this heat wave takes over. Here are our top 7 tips:
1. Change your air filter. The AC unit is going to be working over time and you want to make sure that it’s not being unnecessarily overworked.
2. Make sure windows are sealed and closed. Keep as much of the cool air inside as you can! Remember how your parents used to tell you as a kid to keep the door closed because you’re letting all the hot air out? Make sure you listen and make your entrances and exits from the home brief.
3. Use window treatments such as blinds and drapes to keep the home cooler and let in less direct sunlight.
4. The larger the temperature gap between the outside and inside- the harder it is on your AC unit. Systems in our area were not typically designed to keep up with 100+ degree days. �If it is 100 degrees outside, don’t expect your home to cool into the 60s consistently. Understand that it may get warmer than preferred in the house. Your system was designed to bring the outdoor temperature down 15-20 degrees.
5. Make sure all of the vents are open and allowing air in all the spaces. The easier the system can breathe, the easier it can work.
6. Be proactive with your AC and set your thermostat to where you want it early, and allow it that time to cool the space. If you come home and it's already hot and you turn up on your AC it WILL struggle to cool down the space.
7. Do not overexert yourself or your pets during this heat. Asphalt and concrete store a lot of heat so make sure to walk your pets during the cooler parts of the day. Drink lots of water!
Heat should pass just in time fo the 4th, let's hope the storms hold off as well!
