Keep Your Cool This 4th of July – HVAC Tips for Long Island Homeowners
As fireworks light up the skies over Huntington, Smithtown, Islip, Patchogue, and Riverhead, there's one thing every Long Island homeowner wants this Independence Day—a cool, comfortable home.
With temperatures climbing and guests gathering indoors and outdoors, your HVAC system will be working overtime. The last thing you want is an AC breakdown during your 4th of July BBQ.
At Absolute HVAC, we’re here to help homes across Babylon, Glen Cove, Port Jefferson, Hauppauge, Bellport, East Hampton, and beyond stay cool all weekend long.
🇺🇸 Why 4th of July Is a Stress Test for Your HVAC System
Between cooking indoors, open doors from guests coming and going, and heat from outdoor celebrations, your cooling system can get overwhelmed—especially during heat waves like the one we’re expecting.
If you live in Bay Shore, Patchogue, or Port Jefferson, you already know how Long Island humidity can turn your home into a sauna if your AC isn’t up to par.
✅ Quick HVAC Tips Before Your 4th of July Party
1. Change Your Air Filters
Dirty filters reduce airflow and efficiency. Swap them out now so your system can handle extra use—especially if you're hosting in Riverhead or Bellport where pollen and pet hair are common filter cloggers.
2. Lower the Thermostat Slightly
If you’re expecting guests in Smithtown or Huntington, drop your thermostat by 2–3 degrees before they arrive to account for heat from bodies, cooking, and outdoor air sneaking in.
3. Use Ceiling Fans to Circulate Air
Fans help spread cool air efficiently. Make sure they’re rotating counterclockwise for maximum cooling.
4. Keep the Outdoor Unit Clear
Make sure nothing is blocking your condenser—especially flags, decorations, or plants near the unit in homes from Islip to East Hampton.
