What can you do to get your home ready for the summer heat?

As temperatures start to rise, many homeowners focus on staying cool.

Don’t forget about the small gaps around windows and doors.

While air sealing is often associated with keeping cold air out during winter, it’s just as important during summer.

Tiny cracks and worn weatherstripping allow cool, conditioned air to escape and hot, humid air to seep indoors. This forces your air conditioner to work harder than necessary and increases energy costs. T

ake a few minutes to check for drafts, replace weatherstripping and seal leaks. A tighter home keeps you more comfortable and helps manage energy use.

May is National Barbecue Month! 🔥

Firing up the grill isn’t just great for flavor—it can also help you save energy.

Cooking outdoors keeps extra heat out of the kitchen, so your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to keep your home cool.

Enjoy the barbecue and the energy savings!
