Jensen Beach FL Air Conditioning Service Provides Summertime Cooling Tips

By Lyndon Zerna


If you live in the Southern part of Florida, you know how hot is can get in summer. If fact, summer weather begins in May and can last until November, some years. Here are a few helpful tips provided by your Jensen Beach air conditioning & heating service, to keep you cool all summer long.

If you want your AC unit to keep up with the demand, make it easier on the cooling system. For example, close drapes in the east part of the house during the morning hours. In afternoon and evenings, close drapes on the west side. This will keep passive heat from the sun from entering the home and heating up the interior.

Appliances like stoves, ovens, and clothes dryers, add a lot of heat to your house. The best time to use these appliances is late at night or very early in the morning. The less heat you put into the home during the daytime, the cooler it will stay inside.

If you keep your AC unit outdoor condenser coils clean, you make it easier on your entire cooling system. Heat is extracted from inside and dissipated by the condenser coils. If these coils are blocked or dirty, cooling efficiency drops and energy bills rise. Inspect your outdoor coils weekly and clean them when they get dirty. A garden hose will take care of most of the dirt and debris.

You may not see it, but some of your cool air may be escaping through your windows, along with your hard earned money. Energy efficient windows are an excellent home investment. However, if this is beyond your budget, consider insulated curtains.

It does not cost a lot of money to keep your AC unit clean and running efficiently in the heat. Everything you do to keep the home cooler will save on energy. Also, make sure to contact your Jensen Beach cooling and heating professionals for a pre-summer tune-up and inspection. This will help you have a trouble free summer.
