Summer is coming, and together with backyard cookouts, the lazy drone of lawnmowers, and baseball comes the inexorable march of the summer sun. Hotter and longer days translate into more time with your home or office baking in the sun, with all its attendant damage to furniture, paint, carpets, upholstery — basically, anything the sun’s rays touch. Life on earth would not exist without the sun, and it is an important source of vitamin D3, but it is also a mutagen, or a “physical or chemical agent that changes the genetic material, usually DNA, of an organism.” Anything strong enough to change your DNA can certainly drive up your energy bill and damage the inside of your office!
Luckily, Signals Defense in Owings Mills, MD has a wide range of solutions to keep your energy bills from exploding during those scorching hot summer months.
