As the vibrant days of summer start giving way to the crisp aura of early fall, it becomes crucial to strike a balance in maintaining our home’s indoor humidity. Beehive Heating & Air is here to guide you through this seasonal transition. Enjoy a warm cup of cider, and let’s discuss how to adjust your home’s environment for optimum comfort.
1. Adapting Your Cooling Systems
While your air conditioner has been an essential tool in the summer months, the transition to fall might mean it’s time to reduce its usage. But that doesn’t mean neglect. Ensure its filters are clean and ready for those sporadic late summer heatwaves. Meanwhile, the versatile ceiling fan remains crucial. It can help circulate cool air on warmer days and distribute heat evenly on the cooler ones, preventing moisture buildup and ensuring uniform temperature.
2. Incorporating Nature’s Touch and Sealing Up
Plants play a dual role during this transition. While they continue to act as natural humidifiers, certain indoor plants can also bring a touch of fall colors inside your home. As the temperatures begin to fluctuate, checking for drafts or leaks around doors, windows, and ductwork is essential. Sealing these can prevent chilly breezes from sneaking in and keep out the dampness of early fall rains.
3. Making Seasonal Changes Indoors
As summer barbecues transition to early fall pot roasts, be mindful of how your cooking habits affect indoor humidity. Slow cookers, often a favorite in fall, can introduce moisture into the air. Consider using the exhaust fan to combat this. Dehumidifiers remain helpful, especially in areas prone to dampness. And just as with the peak summer months, ensure bathroom doors remain closed during hot showers to confine steam and keep the rest of the house comfortable.
