Air Conditioning Trick:Keep the Blinds Drawn!

Many of us run the air conditioner daily to make our homes and offices comfortable and enjoyable. Nothing is worse than a stuffy space that lacks fresh, cool air! While air conditioners are nothing new to South Florida, there are some secrets to retaining the cool air in your home that we'd like to share with you. As local air conditioning experts, we feel more than obliged to share our knowledge.

One secret you may not think of--keeping your blinds drawn and curtains closed will help keep your space cool. Often, the strong South Florida sun can zap the cool air right through your windows! Now, currently there is a sweet little breeze blowing through our area, so opening the windows in the evening is quite tempting. Remember to turn off your air conditioning if you do this. Otherwise, keep the windows closed and keep all your air conditioner's hard work contained in your home.

Also, did you know plants help absorb cool-air stealing sunlight? By placing flowers and other blooms in the window, they will absorb any sunlight that seeps in.
