Keep your home cooler this summer

Strategically placing fans around your home helps circulate the cool air, making sure every nook and cranny feels the breeze. 

Next, think about how you use your appliances. Some of those hardworking machines such as ovens and dishwashers generate heat, so try not to use them during the hottest hours of the day.

Consider using smaller appliances like toaster ovens instead of the stove or oven to reduce heat in the kitchen and cook during the cooler parts of the day, like early morning or late evening.

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. It not only keeps you cool from the inside but also helps your body regulate its temperature.

Indoor plants can also be your best summer buddies. Greenery absorbs heat and releases moisture, acting as a natural cooler. Not only do they look good, but they also bring down the temperature a notch.

Use lightweight and breathable bedding materials, such as cotton sheets, to ensure a cooler sleep during hot nights.

Inspect and seal any gaps or cracks around windows and doors. This prevents warm air from seeping in and helps maintain a cooler indoor environment.

During the day keep your windows closed so the heat from the blazing sun can’t sneak in. In the evening, throw them open to let the cool breeze do its job! And bonus points if you create a cross-ventilation by opening windows or doors on opposite sides of your home. 

And consider having your windows tinted to keep out the harsh summer sun. Home window tinting is a great solution for sun and temperature control.
