Tips for a Cooler House
Without the Bill K eeping C ool S ummer days are wonderful for weekends at the pool, catching some rays on the back porch, and hosting backyard barbeques. But if there’s one thing that can really put a damper on all that warm-weather joy, it’s the bill you get for running the AC.Whether you’re looking to save a little, or simply going AC-free, here are some helpful solutions to keeping the hot air out and the cool air in. 1. Keep the curtains or shutters closed when you’re not in the room.We get it-- just about everyone likes the look of a bright, open room, but keeping the curtains thrown wide in the middle of the day invites the heat in, too. 2. Hang a damp sheet in front of an open window on the breezy side. Put your sheet in the washer, and turn it to the last rinse cycle on cold. Once it’s been rung out enough not to drip, hang it in front of the window and let the breeze be cooled as it enters your house.To make the wind blow a little better, open another window to create a vacuum, and set a damp sheet across that one as well. 3. Turn off the appliances.You may not realize it, but all those electronics (the TV, the computer, the dryer, the dishwasher, etc.), all give off heat.Wash the dishes by hand and let them air-dry, and invest in a clothing rack or line to hang your items outside.
4. Box up the rugs. It’s a psychological trick, but it really does work. Bare surfaces look cooler, which in turn, makes them feel cooler. Bring out the plants instead, and while you’re at it, turn your white noise machine to cool-sounds like waves or rain. 5. Reverse that hot water bottle on warm nights. Looking for a better night's sleep? Try placing a thin ice pack under the small of your back or at the base of your neck to keep you cool. Sprinkling a little talcum powder on the sheets will also keep you from sweating during the night.
