Electrician in Melrose, MA for Summer Projects
Modern Electric, your electrician serving Melrose, MA, is excited that Summer is in full swing. That means water parks, ice cream, beaches, camping, hiking, and all the fun outdoor things to do. That also means just relaxing in the comfort of your own home. But what happens when it feels like you're baking in an oven and the mall air conditioning isn't cutting it? Fortunately, with modern electrical technology, you don't need to suffer! Here are some Summer recommendations from Modern Electric so that you can enjoy a more comfortable home.
1) Ceiling Fans
Believe it or not, fans and ceiling fans can help offset your air conditioning usage. If you find an area in your house, like in your hallway, tends to be hotter than normal, which traps heat and flows into your surrounding rooms, then a ceiling fan might do the trick to dissipate that heat. Fan technology has come a long way in the recent years. If you already have ceiling fans installed in your kitchen, but they're already several years old, now would be a great time to install new ones with the new designs of your liking, while also decreasing your electric bill due to increased energy efficiency.
2) Air Conditioning
Maybe you've traditionally placed an air conditioner out your window over the years and finally realized that the water leaking from your air conditioner is damaging your house by leaking behind the siding and slowly rotting away your wood. Maybe your old air conditioner doesn't do the job anymore. Or maybe, just maybe, you realize that old air conditioner is not as efficient, which makes your electric bill go up. If you're thinking "yes" to any of these scenarios, then you may want to consider installing central air conditioning. It's amazing how far this technology has come over the years! Before, it was required to have large ducts installed into your house, which became a challenge for old Colonials or Colonial Revival (common home development of the 70s and 80s around Melrose, MA). That was the case before, but now you can have smaller ducts fit in between your walls thanks to the increased efficiency of the new central air conditioners. Once installed, the cool air will be evenly distributed throughout your house, making you not needing it as much, compared to throwing up multiple air conditioners and / or leaving one on longer to cool the other side of the house. Imagine the energy savings and the better comfort! You don't have to lounge on your couch sitting on a block of ice anymore!
3) Exterior Lighting
Although exterior lighting doesn't keep you cool over Summer, let's just face it — you want to impress your guests at your Summer parties. Making your house look beautiful, even with lighting on your retaining wall, accenting an exterior feature on your house, or lighting up a pathway is a great way to do just that!
