With winter settled in and days that seem like there’s very little any daylight, it can be tough to always feel like your home is a cozy place to be. That extends far beyond doing annual air conditioner service too, because there are various things you can do to help make your home feel cozy even when your air conditioner is operating at its peak.
Here are a few that we find particularly helpful here in Wisconsin Rapids:
- Seal air leaks. Air leaks, whether they’re around your windows or your doors, could mean a great deal of air is leaving your home. It goes without saying that the air that you’ve just paid to be heated or cooled is heading outside too. There are a host of fixes that can help you seal those gaps, from weatherstripping to caulking, and they are fairly easy fixes for homeowners to do themselves.
- Change your air conditioner filter. This is one of the most crucial things you can do to not only boost your air conditioner’s efficiency, but also to help save you on your energy costs. Plus, you don’t need to have your air conditioner service technician to do it, you can handle it yourself. It’s usually recommended to change your air conditioner filter every one or two months to get the most out of its benefits, but some could last even longer.
- Get plants. Indoor plants can leave you with a variety of comforts for your home. Not only are they visually appealing, they could potentially boost your indoor air quality as well because plants absorb a host of contaminants that are emitted from various common household cleaners, paints and other products.
- Air conditioner service. This should be something that you’re already doing, but it never hurts to have a reminder. Having air conditioner service completed annually helps you make certain that your air conditioner is in working-order, and if there’s a need for repairs, those can be addressed so your comfort isn’t compromised.
