Throughout the summer, our
air conditioners are one of the most commonly used appliances in our homes.
Each and every day, we rely on these systems to manage our comfort and keep our
homes free from the sweltering heat that is waiting for us outside. And since
we rely on them so heavily, we often disregard the amount of energy we use
every time we hit the “on” switch and leave them running for hours. To help you
keep cool while reducing the amount of energy you use, we’ve compiled a list of ways that you can beat the heat without relying on your A/C:
- Close your windows – Though you might think opening your windows will bring fresh air into your home, keep them shut even on the hottest of days. The truth is, opening the windows will actually make your home warmer since the hot summer air will have access to the inside.
- Use fans – Fans can be your greatest source of cool air in the summer if used properly. Between a mix of ceiling fans and stand-alone fans, you’re bound to feel just as cool as you would with your A/C. And don’t forget to take advantage of a breezy night; set one fan facing in on the side of your home receiving the wind to bring cool air into your home.
- Turn off the lights – Did you know that light bulbs can produce just as much heat as they do light? On hot summer days, keep the lights off for as long as possible to minimize the amount of heat that radiates off light bulbs.
