One of the things that you want to make sure you do when you can is to take those vacations that you likely missed out on. There are most areas that have stopped functioning and closed down so that those family vacations or road trips have been postponed or even canceled all together. The great thing is as things start to open back up more and more people are trying to get out and to take time to do these trips. You want to make sure that you know what to do with your AC unit as you walk out the door for a trip whether it is a weekend away or a longer trip. There are things that you can do to make sure that you are not wasting and not overpaying to cool your house when you won’t even be there to enjoy. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning outlines what you can do to help prevent overworking your AC unit when away on vacation.

Block Sunlight to Keep House Cooler

One of the things that you want to be cautious of when you are in the middle of the summer is how the sun is effecting your house. The heat that you are dealing with is coming from the sun and that means that you want to avoid letting the sun in the house. This means that as you are prepping to head out you want to make sure that you keep your windows and blinds closed. Don’t let any sun in the house and that is why it is paramount that you close all your blinds around the house before you leave. This will stop the sun from getting in the house and creating heat spots that will cause heat that will circulate through the house.

Keep Interior Doors Open

As you walk through the house to make sure that you did not forget anything is a great time to also open the interior doors. You will close the outside doors to secure the home but you want to leave the interior doors as well to circulate the air throughout the home with more ease. This helps prevent overworking the AC when you are not there.

Set Temperature a Few Degrees Lower on Thermostat

When you are leaving there are some people that think they should shut the unit down when they are gone and some that think you should just leave it normal. The fact is that units are much more efficient than they used to be so you do have a few options. The first thing is that if you are away for a weekend you want to just set the temperature a few degrees off what you normally would. The house won’t become overheated but it can stay at a bearable temperature. There are not many times that you should shut the unit off all together because they are efficient enough now to continue to run.
