If you're a homeowner in Bucks County, Montgomery County, Northeast Philadelphia, or anywhere in the Delaware Valley, this heat could push your HVAC system to its limit.
Let’s break down how to prep your home and avoid emergency calls when the mercury rises.

Ensure quiet, consistent performance all summer long

4. Seal, insulate, and circulate
Keeping cool air inside is just as important as generating it. We recommend:
-
Sealing cracks around windows and doors
-
Adding attic insulation
-
Installing ceiling fans to assist air circulation
This is especially helpful in older homes throughout Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs.
5. Manage humidity the right way
High humidity = higher utility bills and uncomfortable indoor air. Many newer HVAC systems include built-in dehumidification to keep your indoor air crisp and clean.
