5 AC Tips to Prepare Your Naples Home for Holiday Company
The holidays are almost here — and while most of the country is turning on the heat, Naples homeowners are still keeping things cool. Whether you’re hosting family for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s, one thing’s for sure: your guests expect comfort.
Before the doorbell rings and the kitchen fills with activity, make sure your air conditioning system is ready to handle the extra workload. At Florida Comfort Systems, we know that a little preparation now can prevent holiday headaches later.
Here are five simple AC tips to keep your home cool, comfortable, and welcoming this holiday season.
1. Schedule a Pre-Holiday AC Tune-Up
Your system has worked hard all year, and cooler months are the perfect time for a checkup. A professional AC maintenance service ensures your system runs efficiently and quietly — exactly what you want when company arrives.
A tune-up includes:
- Checking refrigerant levels
- Cleaning coils and filters
- Inspecting ductwork for leaks
- Testing thermostat accuracy
Scheduling early means you’ll have peace of mind — and fewer surprises when guests arrive.
2. Replace or Clean Air Filters
Dust, pet hair, and Naples’ coastal humidity can clog your air filter quickly. A dirty filter restricts airflow and makes your system work harder, which can lead to warm spots and higher energy bills.
Swap your filter at least every 1–2 months (more often if you have pets or allergies). You’ll instantly notice cleaner air and more even cooling throughout the home.
3. Adjust the Thermostat for Comfort
When you have extra people in the house, body heat and cooking can quickly warm up your space.
Try setting your thermostat a few degrees cooler before guests arrive. A smart thermostat can help manage temperature changes automatically throughout the day — keeping your guests comfortable without wasting energy.
4. Check Airflow and Vents
Walk through your home and make sure vents aren’t blocked by furniture, rugs, or decorations. Clean any visible dust and ensure airflow is even from room to room.
If you notice weak airflow or hot spots, you could have a ductwork issue. Florida Comfort Systems can inspect and seal ducts to improve performance and efficiency before the holiday rush.
5. Maintain Indoor Air Quality
Between candles, cooking, and extra people, indoor air quality can take a hit during the holidays. Consider adding:
- UV air purifiers to reduce bacteria and odors
- Dehumidifiers to balance Naples’ moisture levels
- Duct cleaning to remove allergens and buildup
Clean, fresh air keeps your home comfortable — and your guests feeling great all season long.
