Florida summers don’t mess around—and neither should your cooling system. If your home still feels warm even with the A/C cranked up, there may be a few easy tweaks to boost comfort without sending your energy bills soaring.


Here are five quick, expert-backed tips to help your home stay cooler—faster.


1. Seal the Leaks (Ducts, Doors & Windows)

According to The Spruce, up to 30% of cooled air can escape through leaks in ductwork or poorly sealed windows and doors. That’s money and comfort slipping away! Sealing these gaps helps your system work smarter—not harder—and cool rooms more evenly.

📍 Pro tip: Have Apex HVAC inspect your ductwork for leaks during your next maintenance visit.


2. Use Ceiling & Box Fans Strategically

Fans don’t cool air—they circulate it. But when used wisely, they can make a room feel 4–6 degrees cooler. Set ceiling fans to spin counterclockwise in the summer and use box fans to pull hot air out during cooler evenings.

💡 Pairing fans with your HVAC can reduce strain on your system—and cut your cooling costs.


3. Super-Cool Overnight, Then Shut it Down

Late-night hours often bring lower temps. Southern Living recommends running your A/C a bit harder overnight when rates may be lower, then closing curtains and reducing daytime use to retain that coolness.

🌙 A smart thermostat can help automate this strategy—ask us how to get one installed!


4. Clean Coils and Replace Filters

Dirty coils and clogged filters block airflow, forcing your system to overwork. Regularly replacing filters (every 1–3 months) and scheduling coil cleaning will keep your system running efficiently.

🧰 Our summer tune-up includes both coil inspection and filter replacement. Call us today to schedule yours.


5. Schedule a Summer Maintenance Tune-Up

The best way to ensure your A/C runs like a champ is to get ahead of the problems. Our certified Apex HVAC technicians can catch small issues before they become big, expensive ones.


☀️ Seasonal tune-ups improve energy efficiency, extend equipment life, and keep your summer stress-free.
