Tips to Keep Cool this Summer in Addison, IL.

At Bloomingdale Heating & Air, we want to keep your Addison home comfortable regardless of the weather outside. Your air conditioning system is obviously a major component. Quality windows, insulation and even weather stripping all play a role, but there are other things you can do to help your system. These tips can help reduce the running time needed and save you money on your energy bills. 

Your friends at Bloomingdale Heating & Air have compiled a list of some tips you can do to keep your Addison home comfortable.

Minimize sun exposure

Try to prevent direct sunlight from entering your home, especially during the hottest times of the day. Window coverings such as blinds or curtains all help. There are even window films that reduce heat transfer. Natural shade also helps block sunlight. If possible, plant trees on the southern and western sides of your home.

Manage humidity

Humidity plays a huge impact on how temperature feels in your Addison home. A humid 80 degrees feels a lot hotter than a dry 80 degrees. For hot weather, keep your Addison home’s humidity lower. Dehumidifiers reduce humidity, but use sparingly because they can also generate heat. Consider installing exhaust fans in areas where you cook or shower. Use exhaust fans for short periods to remove hot air and humidity.

Air circulation

Use fans to circulate air in conjunction with your air conditioning system. Ceiling fans are a great. Set the ceiling fan to run counter-clockwise during summer, it will provide a cooling effect because it will push air down. Even something as simple as a floor fan will help the air circulate.
