Tips to Keep Cool this Summer in Bloomingdale, IL.

At Bloomingdale Heating & Air, we’re in the business of keeping your Bloomingdale home comfortable regardless of the weather outside. Your air conditioning system is obviously a big 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 little tips can help reduce the running time needed, thereby saving 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 Bloomingdale home cool.

Minimize sun exposure

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

Manage humidity

Humidity can have a huge impact on how you feel temperature in your Bloomingdale home. A sticky 80 degrees feels a lot hotter than a dry 80 degrees. For hot weather, you want to keep your Bloomingdale 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. Using exhaust fans for short periods will remove hot air and humidity.

Air circulation

Use fans to circulate air in conjunction with your air conditioning system. Ceiling fans are a great tool to use. If you 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.
