Austin, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/20/2019 -- Temperatures are still sweltering in Austin, but August's arrival signals back-to-school for most area students. By mid-month, families with school-age children will start a new routine: one where most people are out of the house during the hottest time of day. The Cool Experts, leaders in AC repair services for Round Rock, TX, remind Austin homeowners to review their air conditioning settings to compensate for looming autumn schedules. Families can follow these easy HVAC hacks to save money, preserve indoor comfort and protect family health as the new school year begins.
Three HVAC Hacks for Back to School
-Thermostat adjustment: During summer vacation, many families are home throughout the day, so they adjust thermostats to maintain cool temperatures during morning and afternoon. Now, it is time to reset those thermostats. If no one is home while school is in session, temperatures can be increased up to 7 degrees. This saves energy and lowers utility spending without affecting family comfort.
-Filter cleaning & AC maintenance: HVAC maintenance takes a back seat during busy vacation months, so fall is a smart time to clean AC filters and check for debris or loose connections. Failure to keep home comfort equipment in good order leads to inefficient cooling and possible HVAC breakdowns. It's no fun to need air conditioner repair services in Cedar Park, TX and Greater Austin during the hottest days of August.
-Indoor air quality (IAQ) equipment: With the start of school, kids are exposed to all kinds of germs and pests. Homeowners can help protect families by adding indoor air quality equipment to their AC systems. HEPA filters, ultraviolet germicidal disinfection and electrostatic air purifiers are cost-effective ways to minimize exposure to seasonal allergens, respiratory irritants and nasty bacteria.
