There are a few things that you can do to prepare for the intense Arizona summer heat that is headed our way! These tips can help you keep your home cool and give you the comfort you need!
1. Check attic insulation
Making sure that your attic is properly insulated can assure you that the cool air that you’re A/C unit is producing aren’t seeping right out of the walls!
2. Clean your air filters
Checking to make sure that your air filters are clean of dust and other things will assure that you’re getting the maximum amount of airflow in your home without that conditioned air being blocked by your clogged filter.
3. Make sure there are no air leaks
By making sure that there are no air leaks in your home or in your ventilation system you’ll know that your conditioned air is getting to each room and staying there. Warm air leaking into your home can waste a lot of your energy dollars. These leaks are most often found in a home’s ceilings, walls, ducts, door and windows.
4. Give your vents space
Blocking vents in your home with furniture or curtains could be limiting the air flow in your home. By making sure that there’s not any type of obstruction of airflow your homes cool air will spread more evenly throughout rooms.
5. A/C tune ups
Cleaning your air conditioning unit’s coils and fins once a year can go a long way. It’s even better to have it serviced annually by a professional to make sure that your unit is running to its optimum ability.
