5 Smart Tips for Beating the Summer Temperatures
When summer temperatures soar in Reno and the surrounding areas, staying cool becomes more than a matter of comfort—it’s a matter of safety and efficiency. Whether you’re at home or managing a business, extreme heat can put a strain on your HVAC system, your energy bills, and your overall well-being.
At Hoffman Plumbing, we understand how important it is to keep your indoor environment cool and comfortable. Here are some expert-backed tips to help you stay cool and make the most of your cooling systems this summer.
-
Schedule a Professional HVAC Tune-Up
Your air conditioning system works hard during the summer months. A seasonal tune-up ensures it’s running efficiently and reliably. Our certified technicians can inspect your system, clean components, check refrigerant levels, and make any necessary adjustments to prevent breakdowns during peak heat.
-
Use Your Thermostat Wisely
Smart thermostats can make a big difference in both comfort and energy savings. Set your thermostat a few degrees higher when you’re away from home, and use programmable settings to cool your space just before you return. Avoid setting the temperature too low—it won’t cool your home faster, but it will overwork your system.
-
Seal and Insulate Your Space
Cool air can easily escape through poorly sealed windows, doors, and ductwork. Make sure your home or business is properly insulated and that any gaps are sealed. This helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature and reduces the load on your cooling system.
-
Use Fans to Circulate Air
Ceiling fans and portable fans can help distribute cool air more evenly throughout your space. In combination with your AC, fans allow you to raise the thermostat a few degrees without sacrificing comfort.
-
Limit Heat-Generating Activities
Appliances like ovens, dryers, and even lighting can add unnecessary heat to your home. Try to cook during cooler parts of the day, use energy-efficient lighting, and consider grilling outdoors when possible.
