Tips to Keep Cool this Summer in Rolling Meadows, IL.

The experts at Bloomingdale Heating & Air want to keep your Rolling Meadows home cool. A well-maintained air conditioning system obviously goes a long way in doing so. Other factors such as quality windows, insulation and weather stripping also contribute. However, there are additional little things you can make a big difference in keeping your home cool. These tips may even reduce your AC system’s running time and save you money.

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

Minimize sun exposure

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

Manage humidity

The humidity level affects how the temperature feels in your Rolling Meadows home. In other words, a humid 80 degrees feels a lot stickier than a dry 80 degrees. You’ll want to keep your Rolling Meadows home’s humidity lower during hot weather. Dehumidifiers lower humidity, but keep in mind they also generate heat. Use exhaust fans 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, set the ceiling fan to run counter-clockwise. This setting creates a cooling effect by pushing the air down. If you don’t have ceiling fans, floor fans also help.
