Staying Cool In Seattle

 

 One of our vendors sent us this timely information. This is only the end of June and I know we'll use it several times this summer. Stay cool Seattle!

7 WAYS TO STAY COOL WITH...

Record Temperatures Coming To The Pacific Northwest.

  • Do not turn up your thermostat setting. Leave it set at 73-75 all day and night. If the house gets too hot it will not catch up and cool back down. The design temperature for sizing AC in Seattle is 83 degrees outside at 74 inside. Once the temperature gets above 85 degrees outside the system will struggle to get down to temperature.

  • The system is removing moisture too. So the temperature may read high but the house will be comfortable.
  • Keep blinds closed on windows with the sun hitting them. The solar heat load on windows is the largest heat gain in a home and can overload your AC system.

  • Keep windows closed.

  • Your system should be putting out air at the supply register about 15 degrees cooler than the return air temperature. This can be less if the ductwork is in a hot attic.

  • If you don’t have AC. Hang in there!!
