Air conditioners are susceptible to issues after being used all summer long. Royal Heat and Air would love to come and resolve this for you! But in the meantime, there are a few other ways that can keep your home cool during the wait. Read on to learn how to keep your home cool when you can not rely on your air conditioning.
Keep The Blinds Closed
This may seem like such a minor deal here but 30% of unwanted heat comes through your windows! Using your shades and curtains to block the sun rays can save you money on bills while maintaining a cool indoor temperature.
Doors
Be cautious what doors are kept open or closed. Closed doors to rooms you do not use often. Take advantage of those cool nights allowing cool air to naturally flow through the house.
Use The Fan Hack
Fill a mixing bowl with ice or an icepack, and position it at an angle in front of a fan so the air whips off the ice in a chilled state.
Change The Sheets
It is time for a seasonal sheet switch! Change the sheets from winter to summer is a great way to keep cool while you sleep! It also freshens up a room, and nothing is better than sleeping in a freshly made bed.
Turn On Bathrooms Fans
It is best to turn on your bathroom fan, when showering, to quickly pull the hot steamy air out of the house before it sneaks into your home.
Window Hack
Create a cooling pressure current! You can do this if you open the top section of the windows on the downwind of your house and open the bottom section of windows on the upwind side.
You should also consider using a box fan to push hot air out of your home!
Grill
Cooking indoors will naturally crank the heat up inside! This is another reason grilling is more popular in the summer! Try to grill outdoors and all of the heat is already outside, plus you can’t beat the smell of food on the grill!
Invest In Heat Reducing Film
Like we stated before, roughly 30% of ambient heat comes into your home through the windows! Apply a reflective, heat-reducing window film that will help regulate the temperature in your home.
There is nothing worse than a broken AC in the midst of summer! We can not always plan for this to happen so incorporating these other practices, can keep your home cool without even needing your air conditioner!
Keep COOL and have a ROYAL summer!
