July Newsletter 2019
It’s hot out there, folks. Here are some tips on keeping your home cool this summer.
Use Ceiling & Exhaust Fans – Running a fan counterclockwise will have a cooling effect of six degrees, but they won’t lower the room’s temperature.
Don’t Block Registers – It’s very important to keep registers clear otherwise the system will be less efficient.
Block the Sun From Entering – Pull down shades and close curtains to block off the sun and slow a room from heating up.
Maintain Your Air Conditioner – Air conditioners need to be serviced once a year by a professional so that they’re cleaned, adjusted and working properly. Experts also recommend changing your air filter.
Use a Dehumidifier – By keeping your home’s humidity at about 50% during the summertime, you’ll save money by being able to raise the temperature on your thermostat.
Clear Landscaping – Clear any shrubs and make sure the grass isn’t too high around your air condition so that there’s enough airflow around the unit.
Ice Cream! What Better Way to Stay Cool
Here are some awesome places around town to grab a scoop (or two or three):
Ted & Wally’s. An Omaha staple since 1984, Ted and Wally’s has been serving high-quality homemade ice cream from scratch to downtown’s, and now Benson’s, finest.
Coneflower Creamery. Crafted with creativity and a love of real, local ingredients, their ice cream flavors change with the season an availability. Unique and delicious!
Freezing Thai Rolled Ice Cream. For something a little different, try out this Thai rolled ice cream. The line can be long but it’s well worth the wait.
