The dropping temperatures in Huntsville aren’t going anywhere, and while it’s not hard to daydream about the warmer temps, it’s crucial to remember that you can continue to be just as comfortable during cooler months. Of course, your air conditioner plays a large role in this, which is why it’s so crucial to schedule annual air conditioner service.
We do have to bring up the fact that there are few things that will offer as much to your comfort during these months as a well-tuned air conditioner. That’s why air conditioner service is suggested to be completed annually. After all, who wants to spend these colder months not knowing if their air conditioner is going to keep them comfortable the whole time?
Already complete your annual air conditioner service? Here are a couple other things you can do to help keep your home comfortable:
- Energy audit — many energy companies will provide an energy audit for your home so you can uncover areas that need addressed. You could be surprised what areas are allowing hot or cold air to escape.
- Weatherstripping — regardless of the door, doors offer the opportunity for a lot of warm air to get in to your home. However, when your door is shut, you may still have air making its way in your home. Check to see if your weatherstripping is all good or if it’s worn, torn, or damaged in any other way that could be permitting cold air inside. If you find any issues, weatherstripping is basic to switch out and can take care of the problem.
- Recessed lighting — one of the most common areas for air leaks can be your recessed lighting. Depending on the age of your lights, they may be letting all the hot air in your home sneak out through your ceiling. Fixing this is as simple as sealing it with caulk or aluminum tape.
