PatioCrew.com Provides Solutions to Cool Off on Hot Days
Online, August 29, 2012 (Newswire.com) - With each season, Americans change their lifestyles to meet the demands of changing weather patterns. While winter is a time when most individuals adopt a mentality to curl up and hibernate indoors, summer is the season that commonly drives people to pools, parks and backyards. However, a recent report from CBS News indicates that many more families are tackling the summer heat by simply avoiding it, and as they do during winter months, are taking shelter in air conditioned habitats. Although PatioCrew.com understands that many may want to avoid the heat by staying indoors, the company also notes that there are also ways for the summer set to enjoy their backyard environments through the use of patio coverings.
PatioCrew.com, a patio covering supplier and installation service in California, explains that relying solely on air conditioning can ruin a summer experience and sometimes result in complicated technical repairs. The article reveals that most Americans are not aware of how to use their AC systems; these individuals rely on it to constantly provide a freezing temperature, when in fact, these appliances are only built to remove humidity from the air and make the air cool and comfortable. Overuse can result in typical energy bills that range from $70 to $100 a month.
According to the article, air conditioning use in America is so high, that many homeowners have had to face multiple problems with their ventilation systems this season. Some ignore the simple maintenance practice of changing an AC filter regularly. ANC Heating and Cooling CEO, Lloyd Knecht explains, "We like to tell our customers to check the filters. I mean it's probably the number one culprit for lack of cooling is dirty air filters, plugged air filters. Something so simple a homeowner could take care of." Such problems can cause AC units to freeze if left unattended for an extended period of time.
In the article, ANC technician Phillip Briggs sources these ongoing problems to consumer habits, "It all depends on how comfortable you want to be. Some people enjoy their air conditioning and once they have it they can't live without it." While PatioCrew.com notes that AC systems are a necessary component to comfortable modern living, the company also believes that such luxuries should not prevent one from enjoying the outdoors, even if that outdoor environment is simply one's backyard.
According to a recent press statement, PatioCrew.com concludes, "Fresh air is one of the greatest enjoyments of living on this planet. Although it is important to stay safe and hydrated during summer temperatures, families should not avoid the outdoors altogether. A patio covering is easy to set up, maintain and can provide cooler, shaded areas, especially with our insulated patio covers."
