Let Mr. Handyman Reduce Your Summer Cooling Costs!

The temperatures are rising and that means summer is upon the valley.  There are many things we love about summer – relaxing by the pool, popsicles with the kids, and fireworks on the Fourth of July.  

But there is one thing we know all Arizona residents would like to change about their summertime:  cooling costs!

A large number of components contribute to that total on your cooling bill.  Costs will vary according to the size of the home, number of rooms, sun exposure, number of people in the house, and so on.

Let’s explore a few of the ways that Mr. Handyman of Gilbert can lower your cooling costs this summer!

1.       Attic Insulation:  Adding insulation to an attic is one of the most cost-effective things a home owner can do to reduce their cooling costs.  Most home owners don’t want to install insulation because, frankly, it is way too hot to work in the attic!  Mr. Handyman of Gilbert will properly insulate your attic, reducing the work required by your air conditioning unit and lowering that monthly bill.  An insulated attic also retains heat in the winter and serves as a noise buffer, diminishing undesirable noise from household appliances and audio equipment. 

2.      Air Filter Maintenance:  Providing attention and care to air conditioning filters is crucial in the months that your AC unit works the hardest.  Let a professional handyman assist you with air filter replacement and keep your air conditioning in great shape.  Along with increasing efficiency of your cooling unit, replacement filters also drastically reduce pollutants inside your home, keeping your family cool and healthy!

3.      Door and Window Seals:  Have you noticed smudges, spots, or condensation in your windows?  These blemishes usually indicate that the window seals need to be repaired.  In order to retain cool air, the panes of glass must be pressed and resealed.  This project can be messy and time consuming – let a professional handyman assist you with the restoration of your window seals.  Prefer to replace the windows altogether?  We can do that too!  Mr. Handyman will also install weather stripping kits along the doors of entry to your home to prevent wasteful air leaks.

The average high temperature for Phoenix in the month of July is 105° F!  Don't wait to utilize professional handyman services for your major and minor home repairs!
