The plummeting temperatures in Front Royal aren’t heading anywhere, and while it’s easy to daydream about the warmer temps, it’s important to remember that you can remain just as comfortable during cooler months. Of course, your air conditioner plays a big role in this, which is why it’s so important to schedule annual air conditioner service.
We do have to mention that there are few things that will contribute as much to your comfort during these months as a well-tuned air conditioner. That’s why air conditioner service is recommended be done annually. After all, who wants to spend these colder months not knowing if their air conditioner is going to keep them comfortable the entire season?
Already done with your annual air conditioner service? Here are a couple other jobs you can do to help keep your home comfortable:
- Energy audit — a lot of energy companies will have an energy audit for your home so you can find areas that need addressed. You could be surprised what areas are permitting hot or cold air to sneak out.
- Weatherstripping — regardless of which door it is, doors allow the opportunity for a lot of warm air to get in to your home. However, when your door is shut, you could still have air making its way in your home. Check to see if your weatherstripping is all good or if it’s worn, torn, or damaged in any other way that could be permitting cold air inside. If you notice any concerns, weatherstripping is basic to switch out and can take care of the problem.
- Recessed lighting — one of the most common culprits for air leaks may be your recessed lighting. Depending on how old your lights are, they could be letting all the hot air in your home escape through your ceiling. Fixing this is as simple as sealing it with caulk or aluminum tape.
These three tips are just a starting point, but do realize that there are other easy fixes you can do once you’ve had annual air conditioner service completed. Many of them can be cost-effective and easy projects to complete on the weekend.
