\nAs the temperatures rising, keep cool this summer with these helpful tips!<\/div>\n

\nChange Your Filter<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Check your apartment air filter and replace it at least every 3 months. Replacing a dirty filter with a new one can reduce your energy consumption up to 15%! You can also call the office to have your filter changed for you. <\/div>\n

\nApartment Temperature VS Outside Temperature<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

The temperature in your home will only be 20 degrees<\/strong><\/u> lower than the temperature outside. For example: If it’s 95 degrees outside, your apartment will be 75 degrees.<\/p>\n
DO NOT adjust your thermostat under 70 degrees<\/strong> during the summer. If your unit freezes up, it could take an additional 4 to 6 hours for one of our maintenance team members to get your apartment cool again.<\/div>\n
\nOther Air Conditioning Tips<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n
If possible, use your household appliances during the cooler temps in the day. Try to use your oven and do your laundry in the early mornings or evenings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Never turn your thermostat off during the day. Set your thermostat to at least 85 degrees to lessen air conditioning use when you're away.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Keep the bedroom(s) door open to help circulate air throughout your apartment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Keep your blinds closed and use other window coverings on top of your existing mini blinds to block out the heat. DO NOT PUT FOIL IN THE WINDOWS<\/strong>. Approximately 40 percent of unwanted heat comes in through your windows.
\n\t <\/li>\n
If you do not have cool air flow in your apartment and\/or the bathroom ceiling is leaking over your tub, please TURN OFF<\/strong> your thermostat and call the office at (972) 233-5827 to contact our Maintenance Team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
