Sunrooms and backyard porch enclosures can offer you an escape from bad weather while staying in the comfort of your own home. In many ways, a sunroom is like any other room in your house. However, in order to make sure that your sunroom is just as comfortable as the rest of your home, you will need to add some type of climate control to this room for maximum comfort all year round.

Many sunrooms come equipped with climate control features. For example, some sunrooms can be ordered with tinted glass windows to cut down on excessive sunlight. Also, adding blinds or curtains can eliminate a great deal of excess heat. Modern sunrooms are very well-insulated so that you can keep cool or warm air inside the room, no matter what the temperature is outside.

Unfortunately, that gorgeous natural light can also carry a great deal of heat into your sunroom.

You can beat the heat by installing overhead fans in the ceiling of your sunroom. Even a single overhead fan can lower the ambient temperature in your sunroom by several degrees. You can add additonal overhead fans for a greater degree of climate control.

With this method, you only have to be concerned with adding these extra ducts and connections to your central heating and cooling system at home. You can monitor the climate of your sunroom simply by using the thermostat in your house.

  1. Portable Fans and Heaters
