What a Hot August Means for You

Forecasters are calling for August 2019 to have average or slightly above-average temperatures in southeastern Michigan. Average temperatures in Detroit usually hover around 80 degrees, so we are looking at a pretty toasty August this year.

What does this mean for you?

Schedule Your Inspections

It’s still not too late to schedule an air conditioner inspection. August will be hot, and we all know that not all fall days in Michigan are cool and crisp. Therefore, ensuring that your air conditioner is running correctly and efficiently is worthwhile.

On another note, it’s also not too early to schedule a furnace inspection. Because unfortunately, August means back-to-school sales are starting, and that heating season is just around the corner.

Stay Vigilant about Heat Safety

We may be out of the dog days of summer, but heat-related illnesses can occur anytime the temperatures spike. Stay hydrated, stay cool, and stay safe this August.

Get Wet!

Hot days are the perfect time to check out many of the splash pads, pools, or water parks southeastern Michigan offers. Make the most of these last few weeks of summer. Want to relax in the comfort of your yard? You can still have some water fun with these ideas.

Control Your Thermostat

With hot temperatures on the horizon, it can be tempting to crank the AC. However, manually adjusting the thermostat or programming it to be a few degrees warmer during the day than at night can save you quite a bit of money.
