Keeping Your Home Cool Without AC
Keeping your home cool during the hot summer months doesn’t always require heavy reliance on air conditioning. Here are some natural and cost-effective methods.
- Cross-Ventilation: Open windows across the house to create a cross-breeze that pushes hot air out and pulls cooler air in.
- Shade: Use shades, blinds, and curtains to block the sun during the hottest parts of the day.
- Cooling Fans: Use ceiling fans and portable fans to circulate air and create a cooling effect.
- Cool Roofing: Consider installing a cool roof that reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat.
