As the summer comes around to its fullness in Colorado, we can expect the heat to have an impact on our plumbing and cooling systems. Keeping everything running well will limit discomfort so you can enjoy the sunshine without a hitch. But before starting, it is mandatory to take a look at full house ventilation before the weather changes.
It is a bit late to have hit the pre-season savings, so contact your service provider as soon as possible, before there is a problem, to get your cooling system serviced. Preventative maintenance is always less expensive than repairs. Changing air filters, clearing debris and checking moving parts for damage will inhibit most problems.
Call right away to get scheduled, as many providers will backlog on hot days with cooling system failures. While waiting, or to just help keep your home cooler in general, consider:
Black Out Curtains: Close blinds and curtains, or if no curtains exist, put a blanket or other dark, sun-blocking fabric up over windows. Even with an air conditioning unit functioning, this tip can help your cooling system work less hard.
Close Unused Vents: Close vents to basements and/or rooms that are unused so the cooling system is only cooling areas where the air is needed. Make sure that you don’t obstruct, or block, the cool air vents in the areas you use.
Be Energy Smart: Use a programmable thermostat to keep cool when needed and to save energy when not. Use ceiling or other fans to help increase airflow and cooling throughout your home. Limit the use of appliances that generate heat until the cooler night or morning air can help.
