Small Fixes, Big Comfort: Easy Mid-Summer Home Tune-Ups
By mid-summer, even the most comfortable homes can feel a little… off. Maybe your ceiling fan’s spinning the wrong way, or your sink’s draining slower than usual. Perhaps your living room is stuffier than you remember. The good news? A few quick, affordable tune-ups can restore that fresh, relaxed feeling you want for the season.
Here are some small changes that make a big difference (in addition to some insight on how our team at Ultimate Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric can help).
1. Check Your Ceiling Fan Direction
Ceiling fans are more powerful than they seem — but only when they’re spinning in the right direction. For summer, your fan should run counterclockwise, pushing cool air down and creating a wind-chill effect. If it’s set to clockwise, it could be recirculating warm air.
Want an energy-efficient ceiling fan installed or inspected? Our team is ready to help.
2. Don’t Let Drafts Undermine Your Comfort
A small gap — even a tiny leak — in your window or door frame can let in a surprising amount of hot air and overwork your HVAC system. While sealing it helps, a well-tuned A/C and clean ductwork can do the bulk of the work to keep your home comfortable. If your system is running non-stop, let us inspect it and recommend energy-smart solutions.
3. Clean Your Vents and Registers
Blocked or dusty vents make it harder for your cooling system to do its job, which in turn can mess with indoor air quality. A quick vacuum of your registers or a visual inspection of return vents might reveal trouble spots.
For deeper comfort upgrades, schedule a professional A/C tune-up or indoor air quality assessment with Ultimate Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electric. Our techs can spot the issues you can’t see.
4. Fix That Slow Drain
Notice the bathroom sink filling up faster than usual? It might be tempting to ignore, but slow drains are often the first sign of a bigger plumbing issue.
We offer quick diagnostics and same-day service to clear up the problem before it becomes a full-blown clog. Ask about our Plumbing Repair Diagnostic special.
5. Balance Humidity for Maximum Comfort
Colorado summers can swing between dry and muggy depending on the day, and indoor air that’s too dry or too moist is hard on both people and pets.
That’s why many homeowners invest in a whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier system. Not only does it improve air quality, but it also makes your home feel cooler and fresher without over-relying on your A/C. Explore humidifier installations starting at $27/month.
