The Brooklyn Plumbing Company offers five tips on how to stay cool and save money when temperatures rise
BROOKLYN, New York, April 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning, a family-run home services business Brooklyn And Manhattan has been reminding homeowners since 1906 that spring is a good time to prepare their homes for the rising summer heat so they can be assured of staying cool and saving money even as energy bills soar.
Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning offers homeowners five tips for staying cool and saving money as the temperature rises.
“The National Weather Service predicts that the summer of 2023 will be warmer than normal in most parts of the country, meaning air conditioning and other methods of cooling our homes will be stretched to the limit,” he said Michael Peter, owner of Petri plumbing, heating, cooling & drain cleaning. “The best thing homeowners can do is use spring to prepare their homes for the onslaught of heat and humidity. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and preparing your home for summer is no different.”
Petri gives residents five tips so they don’t have to face the hottest days of the year without relief:
- Clean or change the air conditioning filter. The first step in any heating or cooling maintenance plan is to ensure that the unit’s air filters are changed regularly. This not only improves the performance of the device, but also ensures a longer service life.
- Have the air conditioner serviced. Homeowners should schedule regular maintenance for their home’s HVAC system so that potential problems are addressed before temperatures rise.
- Lock up infrequently used rooms. Homeowners should close the vents and doors of rooms that are not used often. By not cooling vacant spaces, homeowners can save money on their utility bills.
- Use ceiling fans to increase air conditioning efficiency in a home. Homeowners should turn their ceiling fans counter-clockwise in the summer to create a cool, downward flow of air. Although fans don’t cool the air themselves, they help cold air from the HVAC system circulate better throughout the home.
- Make long-term improvements to the home. Installing energy-efficient windows, sealing cracks, and improving the home’s insulation help homeowners stay cool without skyrocketing their energy bills. While some of these items cost more to purchase, they offer ongoing savings throughout the year.
“Spring is a great time to start some of these cost-saving measures because your local home services company isn’t as busy as it is in very hot or very cold weather,” Petri said. “It’s usually easier to get an appointment, and you have the added benefit of having time to make repairs or upgrades before temperatures get too unbearable.”
