Your friends at Bloomingdale Heating & Air have put together a list of helpful tips you can do to keep your Winfield home comfortable.

Minimize sun exposure

Take steps to minimize the amount of direct sunlight coming into your home. This especially matters during the hot daytime hours. Window coverings such as blinds or curtains also help. There are window films that can reduce heat transfer. Use natural shade to block sunlight. Consider planting trees on the southern and western sides of your home.

Manage humidity

Humidity levels impact how the temperature feels in your Winfield home. In other words, a humid 80 degrees feels a lot stickier than a dry 80 degrees. During hot weather, you’ll want to keep your Winfield home’s humidity lower. Dehumidifiers lower humidity, but bear in mind they also generate heat. Have exhaust fans installed in areas where you cook or shower. This helps remove hot air and humidity during short periods of time.

Air circulation

Fans are great for air circulation, especially when used in conjunction with an air conditioning system. If you have ceiling fans installed, set the ceiling fan to run counter-clockwise. This setting creates a cooling effect by pushing the air down. Floor fans are also useful if you don’t have ceiling fans.
