Most of the country is bundled up in coats and sipping hot cocoa this time of year. But here on Florida’s
Treasure Coast, “winter” often means sunny afternoons in the mid-70s or even low 80s. That’s why
Comfort, our lovable golden retriever mascot, knows that staying cool is still a priority — even in the
mild winter months.
Here are Comfort’s top tips for keeping your home comfortable and your AC running efficiently this
winter.
1) Don’t Turn Off Your AC Completely
While you might not need your AC blasting all day, it’s still a good idea to run it periodically. This keeps
air circulating, prevents humidity buildup, and helps avoid mold growth in our coastal climate.
2) Use Your Thermostat Wisely
Set your thermostat a few degrees higher than you would in summer — around 76–78°F is usually
perfect. This gives you comfort without overworking your system.
3) Take Advantage of Cool Evenings
Florida winter nights can be refreshingly mild. If temperatures drop, consider opening your windows to
let fresh air in. Just remember to close them before the morning heat returns.
4) Keep Your Filters Clean
Even in the off-season, dust and allergens can circulate. Comfort recommends checking your filters
monthly and replacing them as needed for clean, efficient airflow.
5) Schedule Preventive Maintenance
Winter is the perfect time to schedule a tune-up before the summer rush. A professional inspection ensures
your system is ready for the hotter months ahead — and can help catch small issues before they become
big problems.
