Have you recently bought a new air conditioning unit or are you planning to buy one? Do you know all the things you need along with that air conditioning unit?
To keep your home cool during the summer an air conditioning unit isn’t the only thing you need. Along with it you need several items that can play a huge role in maintaining your home at your desired temperature.
We have listed all the important things you need along with that air conditioning unit below…
Thermostats:
Thermostats can help you quickly check the temperature levels in various rooms of your house. The best option is to purchase a smart thermostat like nest that will help maintain different temperatures at different times of the day. It will also adjust temperature depending upon the room and whether you are home or away.
Hygrometer:
A hygrometer can help determine moisture levels in the house. In the summer it would be nice to maintain low levels of moisture (between 30 and 40%) as moisture has the ability to hold heat. Therefore it is essential to install a hygrometer to help you check moisture levels.
A dehumidifier:
So how can you reduce moisture levels? The answer is a dehumidifier. Whenever you notice that the moisture levels in your house are above 40%. Switch on the dehumidifier and let it run till the moisture levels get down to your desired level.
One or a few portable air conditioners:
Purchase one or a few portable air conditioners as they can be used to keep your home cool when your air conditioning unit breaks down. The number you purchase will depend on the number of rooms and family members you have.
Heat blocking curtains:
Not being able to keep the heat out could be one of the reasons why your house is getting hot no matter how low you turn down the temperature or how long you let the air conditioning unit run. A common place heat usually seeps in through is the windows, so purchase some heat blocking curtains or create them yourself.
