Summer is here, and the first heatwaves have already arrived. However, the thought of impending heatwaves causes panic. Is there a way to keep your home cool without constantly running the air conditioners?
The answer is yes! The following tips will be very useful:
– During the day, prevent solar radiation from entering your home by simply lowering the awnings. Raise them at sunset.
– While you are away from home, keep the shutters closed and the windows open.
– During the afternoon and evening hours, leave all the windows of your home open.
– During the summer months, replace your heavy and dark curtains with light-colored ones, which are more effective at keeping the heat out.
– Get climbing plants like ivy and create a natural shade with them. Fill your balcony with many plants and create a small oasis!
– In the evening, wet your balcony with plenty of water and instantly bring a sense of coolness to nearby rooms.
– Turn off any lights that are not absolutely necessary and unplug devices you are not using. You may not realize it, but they emit a lot of heat.
– Finally, you can fill some ceramic bowls with water and place them near your verandas and windows. With every breeze, the area will cool down.
