Donโt have AC? No problem. A few smart steps now can help keep your home cooler all summer long.
1. BLOCK THE SUN EARLY
Close blinds, shades, or curtains in the morning to keep sunlight and heat out.
Keep heat out. Keep cool in.
2. USE FANS STRATEGICALLY
Place fans near windows to pull in cooler air or use box fans to push hot air out.
Better airflow. Cooler home.
3. SEAL UP AIR LEAKS
Use weatherstripping or caulk around doors, windows, and outlets to stop hot air sneaking in.
Block heat. Stay comfortable.
4. ADD SHADE OUTSIDE
Use trees, umbrellas, or shade cloths to block sunlight from hitting your home.
Natural shade. Cooler home.
5. VENTILATE AT NIGHT
Open windows in the evening and early morning to let cool air in. Close them before it heats up.
Cool air in. Hot air out.
6. USE EVAPORATIVE COOLING
Place bowls of ice or wet towels in front of fans to create a cooler breeze.
Simple trick. Cooler air.
7. SWITCH TO LED BULBS
LED bulbs give off less heat and help keep your home cooler.
Less heat. Lower bills.
8. AVOID HEAT-MAKING APPLIANCES
Limit use of ovens, dryers, and stovetops during the hottest part of the day.
Less heat inside. More comfort.
9. BRING IN PLANTS
Plants release moisture and help cool the air naturally.
Fresh air. Natural cooling.
10. KEEP IT CLUTTER-FREE
Clear walkways and remove clutter so air can move freely and your home feels more open.
Better flow. More comfort.
