Get Your Business Ready for Summer Savings
As warm weather approaches, now is the time to get your facility ready for those sweltering summer days. These measures will help take the heat off your energy budget.
1
Hire a qualified professional to inspect and clean your cooling system. A tuneup will help spot any problems and ensure your system is operating efficiently.
2
Cool your roof. Cool roof materials reflect solar heat gain, reducing cooling system costs and improving comfort.
3
Install a smart thermostat to save energy by automatically adjusting building temperatures according to your operating schedule.
4
Seal and insulate ductwork. Air leaking through ducts reduces cooling system efficiency.
5
Don't spend your energy dollars cooling the outdoors. Check windows and doors for leaks and seal them with caulk and weatherstripping.
6
Keep vents unobstructed by furniture or equipment. This improves air flow and increases cooling system efficiency.
7
Make sure your walls and ceiling are insulated to levels recommended for your climate zone by building energy codes.
8
Install power quality protection, such as surge protectors or UPS devices, to safeguard sensitive electronic equipment during summer storms or other power quality events.
Now your business is ready to handle the worst summer has to offer. The payoff will come in lower energy bills and increased comfort.
