Summer is approaching, and as the temperatures rise, so can your electricity bills. But staying cool doesn't have to burn through your wallet. With some strategic moves, you can beat the heat efficiently. Here's how to keep your home cool and your costs down, with a little help from your friends at Blairsville Heating and Air.

Seal the Deal: Insulate and Seal Leaks
Start by ensuring your home is buttoned up tight. Drafts and leaks can let cool air escape, making your air conditioner work harder and costing you money. Check around windows, doors, and any vents to the outside. Use weatherstripping or caulk to seal any gaps. Additionally, proper insulation in your attic and walls can help maintain your indoor temperature, leading to less strain on your cooling system and more money in your pocket.
Moreover, Blairsville Heating and Air can perform a thorough inspection of your home’s insulation and sealing. Our experts can identify any inefficiencies and provide effective solutions to keep your cooling costs in check.

Upgrade Your Armor: Consider Energy-Efficient Upgrades
If your air conditioner is older, it might be time for an upgrade. Newer, energy-efficient models can save you up to 40% on your cooling costs. Look for units with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating—the higher the SEER, the more efficient the unit. Installing an energy-efficient AC can be a significant upfront investment, but the long-term savings are worth it.
Blairsville Heating and Air offers a range of high-efficiency cooling systems. We can help you choose the best unit for your home’s needs and budget, ensuring a cooler summer with lower energy bills.

Set It Smart: Install a Programmable Thermostat
A programmable thermostat can be a game-changer for managing your cooling expenses. By setting your AC to automatically adjust temperatures when you’re not home, you can cut down on unnecessary cooling and save energy. Program your thermostat to raise the temperature about 7-10 degrees higher when you are away and lower it to a comfortable level when you are home.
At Blairsville Heating and Air, we provide and install a variety of smart thermostats. Our team can also teach you how to optimize these devices for maximum efficiency and comfort.

Fan the Flames: Utilize Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans can be used in tandem with your AC to spread the cooled air more effectively throughout your home. They use much less electricity than air conditioners and can make a room feel up to four degrees cooler. In the summer, make sure your fans are rotating counterclockwise to push the cool air down.
Don’t have ceiling fans? Blairsville Heating and Air can install them in key areas of your home to enhance your cooling system’s efficiency and help you save on high-energy costs.

Shade and Awaken: Use Curtains and Blinds
Sunlight pouring through your windows can increase your indoor temperature significantly. Using curtains, blinds, or shades to block out the sun during peak hours will keep your rooms cooler. Thermal or blackout curtains can especially help by blocking sunlight and insulating rooms from heat.

Night Moves: Ventilate at Night
Take advantage of cooler night temperatures by opening your windows while you sleep. This allows cool air to circulate and can help flush out the warm air that accumulates during the day. Just be sure to close the windows and blinds as soon as the morning sun hits to trap the cool air inside.

Maintain to Gain: Regular HVAC Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial to keeping your HVAC system running efficiently. This includes changing your air filters regularly, cleaning the coils, and checking for any potential issues that could impede your system’s efficiency.
Schedule a maintenance check with Blairsville Heating and Air before the peak of summer. Our skilled technicians will ensure that your system is in tip-top shape, ready to handle the summer heat without overworking itself.

Plant Power: Landscape for Shade
Planting trees and shrubs around your home can provide natural shade and cooling. Leafy trees on the south and west sides of your home can block intense sun rays during the hottest parts of the day, reducing your cooling needs.

Stay Hydrated: Humidity and Hydration
High humidity levels can make your home feel warmer than it actually is. Use dehumidifiers to keep humidity levels in check and make your indoor environment more comfortable. Drinking plenty of fluids will also help you feel cooler.
​
By implementing these strategies, you can enjoy a cool home without the sting of high utility bills. And remember, Blairsville Heating and Air is here to help with all your HVAC needs—from routine maintenance to emergency repairs and energy-efficient upgrades. Call us today, and let's make this summer a cool breeze!
