        How To Keep Your Home Cool and Comfortable All Summer Long

        The summer months are the time of high temperatures and even higher power bills. It’s
        easy to find yourself cranking up the AC to keep things cool, but constantly turning down the AC can lead to eye
        popping power bills and a level of electricity use that’s far from environmentally friendly. So how exactly does
        one keep their home comfortable without having to rely on expensive AC? The solution lies in thinking with
        ingenuity, knowing your home inside and out, and following these tips for simple, AC-free cooling. 

         

        Fanning the Flames of Summer

        Fanning the Flames of Summer

        Ceiling fans, box fans, and even the most modest of USB powered fans are worth their
        weight in gold when it comes to cooling down a space. Give your outside AC unit a break while you focus on
        running fans inside your home instead. The amount of electricity used to power fans is far less than that of
        traditional air conditioning, and decreased temperatures caused by fan use will ensure that the AC won’t have to
        automatically kick in. Just be sure that you are using your ceiling fans efficiently: incorrect fan usage will
        do little more than circulate warm air around the room. Ceiling fans need to be run in the counterclockwise
        direction in order to properly cool the air. Take the time to ensure that all of the ceiling fans in your home
        are spinning correctly and you’ll be all set for a cool house and a low power bill.

         

        Swamp It

        You can also invest in a swamp cooler and a swamp
        cooler cover
        . Swamp coolers use between 15-35% less electricity than your standard air conditioner while
        keeping your house cooler than just a fan. Swamp coolers use the method of recirculating warm air, running it
        through a water cooling system that then blows out cool air. There are no chemicals involved, you use less
        electricity, and the amount of water needed is relatively small.

         

        Window Warmth

        Windows are the visual highlight of any home. They not only bring the joy of sunlight
        into your home, but provide you with a connection to the beauty found in the outdoors like your handcrafted
        backyard garden
        . But did you know that windows are also one of the main culprits of indoor overheating?
        Pulling back the curtains and raising the blinds lets in significant amounts of heat from the outdoors,
        especially in the height of summer. You can easily reduce the amount of heat entering your home by keeping
        blinds and curtains drawn when not using a room and investing in skylight
        covers
        for your ceiling light sources. When leaving home for a grocery run or a walk around the
        neighborhood, go through each room in the house and ensure that every window and your skylights have been
        properly covered so that no sunlight is sneaking in. Your house will feel cooler before you know it, and with
        minimal effort on your end. 

         

        The Great (Grilling) Outdoors

        The Great (Grilling) Outdoors

        Every home chef knows that cooking up a storm in the kitchen heats things up-
        literally. Kitchen appliances, especially gas stoves, produce ample amounts of heat that’s great for frying and
        filleting but less than ideal for keeping your home at a comfortable temperature. An overheated kitchen means
        your AC system will have to work overtime to regulate the temperature inside your home.The simplest solution is
        also the one that’s most enjoyable: grilling. By taking your prime cuts to the backyard grill, you can cut out
        one of the main sources of indoor overheating and whip up a delicious meal for your family in one fell swoop. So
        pull off your grill cover and get cooking! Your electricity bill will thank you for it.

         

        Finding Shade

        While laying out in the summer sun may sound like the perfect afternoon, those rays
        can mean an overheated house before you know it. If the majority of the windows in your home happen to face East
        or West, direct sunlight is a daily occurrence that turns up the heat in the blink of an eye. A simple solution
        to this problem is establishing external sources of shade. Install pergolas, canopies, and similar types of sun
        protection to block direct rays from hitting your home’s windows. Blackout curtains are an investment that can
        be used indoors as an accompaniment to outside shade providers. This combination of indoor/outdoor shade
        solutions will keep you and your home cool as a cucumber without costly cooling. 

         

        Insulation & All

        Wearing a coat in the winter keeps you warm for a reason. It keeps your body heat from
        dissipating. This same principle applies to insulating your home. Properly insulated homes keeps warm air
        trapped within the home during the winter months. However, the same home insulation also prevents cool air from
        escaping when summer rolls around. Insulation can be found at any major hardware store and any homeowner with a
        handyman side to them can install it in their home without issue. And once the temperature drops in the fall,
        you will be grateful you have this money saving and environmentally efficient measure already in place!
