How to keep cool and keep your heating and air conditioning costs in check if you have a sunroom! Most people only call a heating and air conditioning service when they have an emergency. This short-sighted habit costs you a chunk of change every year. By preparing for weather before it hits, you can stay comfortable for less. If you have a sunroom, there’s no reason to wait for an emergency to get it ready for those sweet summer nights. Check out these three handy tips for keeping your sunroom cool without blowing your budget: 1. InsulationThere are a few different ways you can insulate a sunroom. Adding blown or bat insulation to the walls, floor and ceiling are obvious. Talk to your HVAC service about glaze insulation you can add to the windows of your seasonal space. This is especially helpful in keeping your sunroom cool during the warmest months of the year. 2. Humidity controlSummers in South Carolina are sweltering. The extra humidity in the air makes things worse. Why? Moisture isn’t wicked away from human skin as easily. Humidity interferes with human’s natural method of lowering body temperature -- sweat! Adding a dehumidifier to a sunroom has a surprising impact on comfort. 3. CrosswindsVenting air from one side of the sunroom to the other helps circulate the air, encouraging warmer air to move out of the space. The installation of a ceiling fan also helps prevent a buildup of heat.
Your home’s sunroom should be a source of rest and relaxation this summer, not a sweltering hub of humidity. Connect with our team of friendly experts at Smoak’s Comfort Control at 843-556-9550 to ensure your sunroom is ready for the summer months.

Thanks for pointing out that there must be additional insulation for the ceiling and the floor to keep the sunroom cool. I will tell this to professionals that we will hire since we wanted to add this kind of room on the west side of the house. This is to be able to see the sun setting on the lakeside while we are in the comfort of our house.
