Central Virginia summers bring heat, humidity and the occasional strong storm. A little preparation keeps your home comfortable and protects your finishes.
Control humidity
Good ventilation, exhaust fans and a dehumidifier help prevent mildew and protect wood floors and furniture.
Upgrade windows
Energy-efficient windows keep cool air in, block heat and reduce condensation.
Check your roof and gutters
Summer storms can be heavy. A sound roof and clear gutters keep water away from your home.
Choose humidity-friendly materials
Luxury vinyl plank, porcelain tile and moisture-resistant paint stand up well in damp areas.
Consider solar
Long sunny days are perfect for solar panels that help offset the cost of cooling.
