GREAT COST EFFECTIVE TIPS TO KEEPING YOUR HOME COOL OVER SUMMER
1. Close curtains and blinds to shield your home from the harsh summer sun.
2. Open the windows and doors to create air flow.
3. Stop the heat coming inside - Invest in window shades or external coverings like plants.
4. Invest in insulation - Insulation works at keeping us warm in winter and cool in summer so it’s a worthwhile investment.
5. Switch to cotton - Opt for cotton bed linen so you don’t overheat at night.
6. Cook outside - Warmer evenings make it an ideal time to fire up the BBQ.
7. Dehumidify your home - Air is much easier to cool if it’s not humid and you’ll feel more comfortable too.
8. Change your lightbulbs - Incandescent lightbulbs produce a lot of heat, try switching to energy-saving bulbs. Not only will you save on energy costs, but they’ll help keep your home cooler too.
