Well summer is here already (in the southwest) and it’s time to find a cool place anywhere you are! Here are some tips for keeping your home cool.
If it is still relatively cool at night, open your windows, (unless it is blowing dust which it does here often)
Be sure to close your windows as soon as it starts to heat up in the morning. It is much harder for your air conditioning to cool everything in the house because you let it get hot than to just keep everything cool.
Close blinds that are on the south or west side of your house in the afternoon to keep the hottest sun of the day out.
Some people prefer to keep the windows closed all the time and this is effective too.
You can usually keep your thermostat at a higher temperature and save some money if you follow these steps.
Opening your windows at night and closing them in the day works well even if you don’t have air conditioning, because you are trapping the cool air inside the house.
We have a very long, hot summer here but we stay inside like we would in the winter elsewhere. Still it is very pretty here right now and we really enjoy it.
