3 Ways to Reduce the Heat in Your Home

The right kind of home improvement projects can control the amount of heat present in your home and make it a cooler and more comfortable place. For example, you can install one of our exterior solar shades, retractable screens, or retractable awnings. ArmorGuard Exteriors gives you a few ideas to help control the heat that enters your home:

Install a Retractable Awning

A lot of the heat that enters your home comes through sunlight shining through your windows. Consider installing one of our retractable awnings to cut down the amount of heat that enters your home. Our Sunesta® retractable awnings can reduce your home’s cooling costs by providing you with plenty of control. They are durable and simple to use. They also come with a wide variety of fabric colors and patterns, allowing our awnings to match your home’s design.

Cook Outdoors More

An appliance that creates heat will make it harder for your HVAC system to keep your interior cool. Consider cooking during cooler hours or doing it outdoors on your grill. The oppressive heat of the sun, however, can make it difficult to spend time on your patio. That’s where our retractable screens come in. ArmorGuard Exteriors can install retractable screens that will block the sun’s heat and glare. They will allow you to enjoy your patio more.

Deal With Duct Leaks

Leaky air ducts can make even the best HVAC systems inefficient. Call an HVAC professional to inspect your air ducts and have them tune-up your air conditioning system. The leak-prone areas they will inspect include the site where the branch ducts meet the trunk line and the places where ducts attach to outlets.
