School gets out on June 5th, and while the kids are dreaming of days at the Lake, parents are often dreaming of how to keep the electric bill under control. When the house is full of kids all day, your energy patterns change instantly.
At Feather River Aire, we want you to enjoy the summer, not stress about the AC. Here are four ways to keep your Oroville home cool and your budget intact:
1. Close the “Cooling Gaps” With kids running in and out from the yard, your house is constantly “leaking” expensive air.
The Strategy: Check your weather stripping now. If the kids are going to be opening and closing doors 50 times a day, make sure those doors actually seal tight when they are closed.
2. Manage the Mid-Day Heat Between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM, the Oroville sun is at its peak.
The Strategy: Get the kids into the habit of “The Great Blinding.” Closing the curtains on the sunny side of the house during the afternoon can keep the indoor temp up to 10 degrees lower without the AC even kicking on.
3. The “Gaming PC” Problem If your house has a “gamer,” you have a heat source. Electronics generate massive amounts of heat in small rooms.
The Strategy: A ductless mini-split is the “Silver Bullet” for hot bedrooms. It provides precision cooling exactly where the heat is being generated, saving your main unit from unnecessary wear and tear.
4. Schedule Your “Summer Kickoff” Maintenance The last thing you want is a mid-July breakdown while the house is full of bored kids.
The Strategy: A professional tune-up ensures your coils are clean and your refrigerant levels are perfect. It’s the best “insurance policy” for a stress-free summer.
