Three Tips to Keep Your Tomball Home Comfortable in the Cooler Months

November 24, 2015

The dipping temperatures in Tomball aren’t leaving, and while it’s simple to dream about the warmer temps, it’s crucial to remember that you can stay just as comfortable during cooler months. Of course, your air conditioner plays a large role in this, which is why it’s so crucial to keep up with annual air conditioner service.

We do have to bring up the fact that there are only a couple things that will offer as much to your comfort this time of year as a well-tuned air conditioner. That’s why air conditioner service is suggested to be scheduled annually. After all, who wants to spend these colder months not knowing if their air conditioner is going to keep them covered the whole time?

Already complete your annual air conditioner service? Here are a couple other tasks you can do to help keep your home comfortable:

  • Energy audit — a lot of energy companies will offer an energy audit for your home so you can find areas that need addressed. You might be surprised what areas are allowing hot or cold air to get out.
  • Weatherstripping — regardless of the door, doors permit the opportunity for a lot of warm air to get in to your home. However, when your door is shut, you can still have air making its way indoors. Check to see if your weatherstripping is all good or if it’s worn, torn, or damaged in any other way that could be letting cold air inside. If you notice any concerns, weatherstripping is easy to swap and could take care of the problem.
  • Recessed lighting — one of the most common culprits for air leaks can be your recessed lighting. Depending on how old your lights are, they could be letting all the hot air in your home escape through your ceiling. Fixing this is as simple as sealing it with caulk or aluminum tape.

These couple tips are just a starting point, but do realize that there are other basic fixes you can handle once you’ve had annual air conditioner service completed. Many of them can be cost-effective and easy jobs to accomplish on the weekend.
