Tips to Keep Cool this Summer in Naperville, IL.

Our experts at Bloomingdale Heating & Air want to keep your Naperville home comfortable. Your air conditioning system plays an enormous role in doing so. Other factors such as quality windows, insulation and weather stripping also contribute. That said, there are other little tips that can make a big difference in keeping your home cool. These tips may even help lower the demand on the AC system and save you money.

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

Minimize sun exposure

Do your best to minimize the amount of direct sunlight coming into your home. This especially matters during the hotter hours of the day. Window coverings such as blinds or curtains help. There are window films that can reduce heat transfer. When possible, use natural shade to help block sunlight. Plant trees on the southern and western sides of your home.

Manage humidity

Humidity levels affect how the temperatures feel in your Naperville home. For example, a humid 80 degrees will feel a lot stickier than a dry 80 degrees. Reduce your Naperville home’s humidity level 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 creates a cooling effect by pushing the air down. If you don’t have ceiling fans installed, floor fans also help tremendously.
