Summer is just around the corner and if you live in a part of the country that is already really hot, then you may be dreading the extra heat. To help you stay extra comfortable and cool this year, this article will go over a few ways to get cooler air out of your vents. Read on to learn more.
1. Get Your Air Ducts Clean
When you have dust and dirt clogged in your air ducts, it's going to make it a lot more difficult for air to get through it which can restrict the airflow. Before you go to turn on your AC this summer, have your air ducts professionally cleaned. An air duct cleaning professional will come out to your house, vacuum out your ducts, and then wipe them clan; that way the air that flows through them is cooler, cleaner, and just more effective all around.
2. Change the Coolant
You may not realize it, but your air conditioning system works similarly to the one inside of your car. It requires some power (electricity) and some coolant in order for it to work properly. If the coolant is old or dirty, then it will make it more difficult for you to get cold air into your house. If you haven't had your AC tuned up, then make this the year that you hire a professional to help you get the job done. Typically, during a tune up, an AC professional will change out the coolant or top it off; that way the air that comes through your vents is a lot colder.
3. Close Unused Vents
Your cooling unit can only do so much. If all of the vents are open all of the way in your house, then you won't get as much cold air in the main living areas. Go around your house and close unused vents either all the way or 75% of the way; this will help you get more force and delivery into rooms in your house like your living room, kitchen and family room.
Now that you know a few tips and tricks, you can use them to help keep your house cool this summer. To learn more, contact an air conditioning repair service near you; they can come out to your house, do a brief inspection, and then get you on your way towards having the coolest summer of your life.
