Do Not Tax your HVAC This Summer in Georgia

With each new season, Georgia homeowners go through the ritual of adjusting to changing temperatures. However, summer is fast approaching, and the heat is already starting to rise. That means it is time to consider effective HVAC use and energy savings.

Energy costs can become financially overwhelming for families and businesses. However, there are several steps you can take to reduce these costs. Your HVAC system is designed to provide cool air, but you shouldn’t rely solely on mechanically driven air conditioning.

Shut out the Heat

An HVAC system is used to control indoor climate. One way to reduce energy costs involves preventing heat from entering your property in the first place. For example, closing blinds during the day can shut out much of the heat that comes in through the windows. This practice will allow you to reduce reliance on air conditioning in the Georgia heat.

Internal Airflow

Locking heat inside the individual rooms in your home will put stress on any HVAC system. Internal doors should remain open throughout the day to improve airflow. If there are external areas of your property that are well shaded, you can open doors and windows to promote the flow of cooler air.

Outdoor Cooking

Most families eat one or more hot meals each day. The additional heat from an oven or stove can really warm things up inside your home. While the weather is good, take the opportunity to enjoy outdoor dining. This will give the grill-master of the family the chance to show off those skills and spend time with family and friends.

Washing & Drying Appliances

Your washer and dryer are crucial appliances for keeping an important part of family life ticking over. But unfortunately, these devices also produce a large amount of heat. If you want to save money on energy costs, try to reserve evenings for laundry time to reduce the impact.

HVAC Inspection & Tune-up

Ensuring that your HVAC is in good shape and working efficiently is crucial as the weather gets hotter. Reach out to ClimateSmith today to book an inspection and tune-up in time for summer.
