Five Ways To Stay Cool In Your Car This Summer

Anyone who lives in Florida knows it gets hot in the summertime. Real hot. When you combine the outside temperature, the sun’s searing heat and the humidity, a summer day in Florida can be brutal. Fortunately, Sound Depot and Performance in Gainesville has five practical ways to help you stay cool in your car this summer.

1. Window Tint

Crystalline window tint is probably the single biggest improvement you can make to your vehicle if you want to keep it cooler inside. This particular 3M window film has more than 200 layers of protection built into a film no thicker than a Post-it note. When you go out to your vehicle on a hot summer day, you notice that feeling of hot air rushing out of your vehicle when you first open the car door. What if you could eliminate that? Crystalline film blocks more than 60% of the sun’s heat, dramatically lowering the temperature in your vehicle. We even have a clear film that can be installed on your windshield, giving you 360 degrees of protection.

2. Remote Start

Add a remote start to your vehicle. Just like our neighbors up north use a remote start to warm up their vehicles in the winter, you can use it to cool down in the summer. All you need to do is remote start your vehicle several minutes before you are ready to leave and the air conditioner will instantly begin cooling down the interior for you.

3. Recirculation Setting

Speaking of air conditioning, here is a freebie for you. On those hot summer days, when the interior temperature of your vehicle is hotter than the air outside, don’t set your system to recirculate until the interior temperature comes down. Your system will begin working faster and you will experience a cooler vehicle in less time.

4. Window Deflectors

Buy a set of side window deflectors from Sound Depot and Performance. Adding a set of these to your vehicle allows you to put your windows down slightly and let the hot air escape from your vehicle, all the while keeping out any rain.

5. Shady Parking

Finally, this last step is also free: Simply look for a shaded parking spot. While they may be in high demand in Florida, any opportunity you have to keep your vehicle out of the sun will keep your vehicle cooler.
