August Heatwave? Tips to Keeping Homes Cool and Energy Efficient
Temp Air Heating & Cooling Provides Essential Advice for Staying Comfortable During Late Summer Heatwaves

As August brings the peak of summer heat, homeowners are looking for effective ways to keep their homes cool without breaking the bank on energy bills. Temp Air Heating & Cooling, a premier HVAC service provider, offers practical tips to help homeowners maintain a comfortable indoor environment while maximizing energy efficiency, particularly during late summer heatwaves.

Optimize Your HVAC System for Maximum Efficiency

One of the most critical factors in keeping your home cool and energy-efficient is ensuring that your HVAC system is running at peak performance. Here are some key maintenance tips:

  • Replace Air Filters Regularly: Dirty or clogged air filters can significantly reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system, forcing it to work harder to cool your home. Replace filters every 1-3 months to maintain optimal airflow and improve air quality.

  • Check Thermostat Settings: Set your thermostat to the highest comfortable temperature when you’re home and raise it a few degrees when you’re away. This simple adjustment can reduce the strain on your HVAC system and lower energy consumption.

  • Schedule a Professional Tune-Up: Regular maintenance by a certified HVAC technician can identify and address potential issues before they become costly problems. A tune-up ensures that your system is clean, well-lubricated, and operating efficiently.

  • Inspect and Clean Outdoor Units: Ensure that the area around your outdoor unit is clear of debris, leaves, and overgrown plants. Proper airflow is essential for the unit to function efficiently, especially during intense heat.


Use Fans to Supplement Cooling

Ceiling fans and portable fans are excellent tools for enhancing the cooling effect of your HVAC system. Fans circulate the air, helping to create a wind-chill effect that makes the room feel cooler without lowering the thermostat. Remember to turn off fans when you leave a room, as they cool people, not spaces.

Seal and Insulate Your Home

Proper insulation and sealing are crucial for keeping cool air in and hot air out. Check for gaps around doors, windows, and vents, and use weatherstripping or caulking to seal any leaks. Insulating your attic and walls can also reduce the amount of heat that enters your home, helping your HVAC system work more efficiently.

Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat

A smart thermostat can help you manage your home’s temperature more efficiently by allowing you to control settings remotely and set schedules based on your daily routine. Some models also provide energy usage reports, helping you identify opportunities for savings.

GoGreen Financing for Energy-Efficient Upgrades

Temp Air Heating & Cooling is also pleased to offer GoGreen Financing, a program designed to help homeowners invest in energy-efficient upgrades. This financing option allows homeowners to make necessary improvements to their HVAC systems without the burden of upfront costs, promoting long-term savings and sustainability. GoGreen Financing is an excellent opportunity for those looking to enhance their home's energy efficiency while staying within budget.
