Estimated Read Time: 2 minutes

Summer in Stafford can be quite challenging with rising temperatures affecting both comfort and energy bills. However, with a few strategic adjustments, you can maintain a cool, energy-efficient home. At Appleton Campbell, we prioritize your comfort and safety, offering expert tips and testimonials to help you beat the heat this season.

Understanding the Challenge

As the mercury rises, so too does our reliance on air conditioning. It's crucial for homeowners to maintain their systems for peak efficiency. One of our customers, Sara M., shared her experience about the timely and professional replacement of her HVAC system during a scorching summer, praising the team's efforts despite the challenging conditions[2].

Expert Cooling Tips

1. Optimize Your Thermostat

Tip: Keep your thermostat set to the highest comfortable temperature. This reduces energy usage without sacrificing comfort.

When customer Jake had an issue with his air conditioner, Appleton Campbell’s technician arrived promptly, adjusting the system to restore optimal performance. Jake was impressed by the professional service and efficient resolution[1].

2. Seal and Insulate

Ensuring your home is adequately sealed and insulated prevents cool air from escaping. Check windows, doors, and attics for leaks and consider adding insulation where necessary. This simple step can enhance the efficiency of your air conditioning system, reducing strain and energy consumption.

3. Regular Maintenance

Regular HVAC maintenance can prevent sudden breakdowns during the hottest days. Routine checks can extend the life of your system and improve efficiency. Our customer, Phil R., appreciated the swift diagnosis and repair of his air conditioning on a particularly sweltering 97-degree day[3].

4. Use Fans Wisely

Ceiling fans can assist in circulating cool air when used in conjunction with air conditioning. This can allow you to raise the thermostat setting by about 4°F without reducing comfort, enhancing energy savings.

5. Keep Heat Producers Away

Place lamps, televisions, and other heat-producing devices away from your thermostat. These items can cause your air conditioner to run longer than necessary by signaling additional heat in the room.
