Tips to Keep Cool this Summer in Medinah, IL.

At Bloomingdale Heating & Air, we want your Medinah home comfortable regardless of the temperature outside. Your air conditioning system is obviously a huge component. Quality windows, insulation and even weather stripping also play major roles, but there are other things you can do to keep your home cool. These tips can help reduce your AC system’s running time and save you money on your energy costs. 

Your friends at Bloomingdale Heating & Air have put together a list of some tips you can do to keep your Medinah home cool.

Minimize sun exposure

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

Manage humidity

Humidity impacts on how temperature feels in your Medinah home. For example, a humid 80 degrees feels a lot hotter than a dry 80 degrees. During hot weather, keep your Medinah home’s humidity lower. Dehumidifiers reduce humidity, but keep in mind they can also generate heat. Use exhaust fans in areas where you cook or shower. These will help remove hot air and humidity for short periods of time.

Air circulation

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