Local Jensen Beach FL Air Conditioning Service Provides Cooling Tips For Summer

By Lyndon Zerna


Summer time in Southeastern Florida can get very hot. In addition, it stays hot for many months out of the year. Here are some helpful tips from your local Jensen Beach air conditioning & heating service, for increasing your home comfort this year.

You can lighten the load on your cooling system by keeping curtains or drapes closed. For instance, eastern facing windows let in heat from the sun in the mornings. Western windows let heat in during the evening hours. If your close curtains during this time, your indoors will stay cooler and you and your family will be more comfortable.

You might not realize just how much heat some of your home appliances can generate. Clothes dryers and ovens can make your AC system work much harder, so consider using them when it is cooler outside. Early morning and late night are the best times.

Your cooling unit's condenser coils are located outside of the home, and they need to be kept clean. An AC system removes heat from the house and releases it through the condenser unit. If coils are dirty, they cannot dissipate all the heat, and this cuts down on AC efficiency. Inspect these coils at least once a week in summer, and clean them with your garden hose and a brush when needed.

A great deal of cool air is lost through your windows. Consider adding energy efficient windows to your home. You also may wish to invest in insulated drapes. This is cheaper than new windows and will keep cool air loss to a minimum.

Follow these simple tips from your Jensen Beach cooling and heating professionals and you will cut your energy costs and stay more comfortable this summer. Also, your cooling pros offer pre-summer inspections and cleanings. This will prepare your cooling system for hot weather, and prevent many problems in the summer.
