☀️🔧 MAINTENANCE TIP OF THE DAY: BEAT THE SEPTEMBER HEAT!🔧☀️
September may be here, but summer is still hanging around! 🥵 If your apartment is feeling warm, here are some simple ways to stay comfortable, help your A/C work efficiently, and keep energy costs down.💸❄️
🌡️ Keep Your Thermostat Consistent
Try to maintain a comfortable temperature rather than constantly adjusting the thermostat. Setting it a few degrees warmer can also help reduce energy usage.
🪟Close Your Blinds & Curtains
Direct sunlight can heat up your apartment quickly! Keep blinds and curtains closed during the hottest parts of the day to help keep that heat outside. ☀️
💨 Try a Vent Air Diverter
If you have a vent that's tucked behind furniture or isn't directing cool air where you need it, you can purchase an air vent diverter/deflector to help redirect the airflow into the room. This can help you feel more of the cool air where you need it most! ❄️
🌀 Use Fans to Circulate Air
Ceiling and portable fans can help circulate the cool air throughout your apartment, making rooms feel more comfortable without having to turn the thermostat way down.
🚪 Keep Doors & Windows Closed
When your A/C is running, keep exterior doors and windows closed so you're not letting that cool air escape.
🛋️ Keep Vents Clear
Make sure furniture, rugs, curtains, or other items aren't blocking your vents. Clear vents allow air to circulate more effectively.
🍳 Skip the Oven When You Can
Your oven can add a lot of heat to your apartment! Try the microwave, air fryer, or grill on especially hot days.
💡 Turn Off Unused Lights & Electronics
Lights and electronics generate heat, too. Turn them off when you're not using them to help keep your home cooler and save energy.
🛠️ A/C Not Cooling Properly?
If your A/C isn't cooling your apartment as it should, don't wait! Submit a work order through your resident portal so our maintenance team can take a look.
Stay cool, save where you can, and hopefully Mother Nature gets the hint that it’s time for fall! 🍂😎
