Three Tips to Keep Your Naples Home Comfortable in the Cooler Months

The dropping temperatures in Naples aren’t heading anywhere, and while it’s easy to daydream about the warmer temperatures, it’s important to remember that you can stay just as comfortable during cooler months. Of course, your air conditioner plays a big role in this, which is why it’s so vital to keep up with annual air conditioner service.

We do have to bring up the fact that there are only a couple things that will contribute as much to your comfort this time of year as a well-tuned air conditioner. That’s why air conditioner service is suggested to be scheduled annually. After all, who wants to spend these cooler months not knowing if their air conditioner is going to keep them warm the entire season?

Already complete your annual air conditioner service? Here are a few other tasks you can do to help keep your home comfortable:

• Energy audit — a lot of energy companies will offer an energy audit for your home so you can identify areas that need addressed. You may 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 come in to your home. However, when your door is shut, you could still have air making its way indoors. Check to see if your weatherstripping is all good or if it’s worn, torn, or damaged in any other way that could be allowing cold air inside. If you find any problems, weatherstripping is basic to swap and may take care of the problem.
• Recessed lighting — one of the most common areas for air leaks could be your recessed lighting. Depending on how old your lights are, they might be letting all the hot air in your home get out through your ceiling. Fixing this is as basic as sealing it with caulk or aluminum tape.

These three tips are just a starting point, but do recognize that there are other simple fixes you can do once you’ve had annual air conditioner service completed. Many of them can be cost-effective and easy things to accomplish on the weekend.
