How to Increase the Energy Efficiency of Your Florida Home

The warm and bright weather is what draws many homeowners to Florida. However, in the Sunshine State, temperatures can quickly rise to unbearable levels. This means that you will frequently rely on air conditioning for relief, which may be costly and inefficient, as well as damaging to your power bills and the environment. As a result, many Florida residents will be seeking ways to improve the energy efficiency of their Florida homes to save money on their monthly electricity costs.

Use Ventilation Strategies Wisely

Turn off ceiling fans when you leave the room to save electricity, as they do little to cool the room other than provide a pleasant cooling sensation. Bathroom and shower fans, which remove heat and humidity from your home, are the only exceptions to this rule. Furthermore, kitchen and laundry fans can benefit from spot ventilation, but make sure they are vented to the outside rather than the attic, which might heat up your home.

Keep Your HVAC System in Good Working Order

Regular maintenance is essential for maintaining your HVAC system in top working order. Routine maintenance can help keep minor issues from becoming major ones, saving money on deferred maintenance. Make sure it’s properly fitted, avoid installing heat-producing equipment near your thermostat and maintain the inside fan speed on high except on exceptionally humid days. Additionally, the Department of Energy suggests utilizing interior fans in conjunction with window air conditioning units to assist circulate air throughout your home.

Ensure the Thermostat is Programmed Correctly

The thermostat in your home is a powerful tool for keeping your home cool in the summer. Set your thermostat to a comfortable setting, remembering that the smallest variation between indoor and outside temperatures results in the lowest cooling expenditures.

Morgan Exteriors, Inc. was great! Moses, one of their sales team members walked my wife and I through every step of the process. He made everything clear and coherent and answered any questions for us that we had. We are excited to start our home improvement project with them. He even went out of his way to work on getting us the best possible financing at the lowest rate.
