Summer is here and here is where you can maximize your A/C. Las Vegas in summer is like walking on the sun and our utility bills prove it. There are a few things you can do to be sure you get the most out of your cooling.

First, be sure to change your return filters often. (It is commended you change them every month. Hardly anyone does this out of shear laziness. It will help with your allergies as well as your bill). Next, be sure you have at least 1 inch of space between your interior doors and the floor, carpet etc. This allows air flow throughout the house. You may have to trim some doors to allow this, but it is well worth your time.

The last thing is to ballance your ceiling and wall vents. Many people close their ceiling or wall vents to pump additional cooling into the rooms they use most. All well and good, but actually opening all the vents will give even distribution and even cooling.

We at Sherlock Home Inspections recommend the above to save money and additional laundry to clean more clothes due to perspiration! Please visit our website at: www.SherlockInspections.com.
