Many homeowners rarely visit their attics and may be unaware of the intense heat that can accumulate there, especially during summer months when temperatures can reach up to 150 degrees.

Thinking of ways to reduce your energy bills? The first step is to identify high-energy consumption areas in your home. If your air conditioning system is constantly running, you might want to explore cooling alternatives that are less energy-intensive.

Many people think that late spring is the best time of the year to install an attic fan in their home. While spring isn’t necessarily a bad time to install an attic fan, it’s far from the best time of the year to do so.

If you use your garage as a workspace, you know how important ventilation is. During the summer, poor ventilation can lead to a hot, stuffy garage, and in the winter, poor ventilation will cause condensation, which can make the workspace slippery and cause damage to your tools and equipment.

This is because your garage likely has a build-up of chemicals and fumes from your tools, machinery, and car. Not only does this create an unsafe work environment, but these toxic fumes can seep into the rest of your home if you’re not careful.

Below, we’ll go over how to properly ventilate a garage workshop.

July 4th, 2023 was the hottest day ever recorded. So this summer, even more than previous ones, you’re probably looking for some relief at home.

It’s hard to enjoy your summer when you come back to a hot and humid home. That’s why so many people turn to air conditioning to get relief from the summer heat.
