One of the best things to cool down your place is by using AC system but air conditioning is not just expensive it also consumed a lot of power which make your electricity bill high. If you don’t have an air conditioner and can’t take the heat there are DIY ideas to stay cool this summer.
Cool your drapes or curtains. First you need to open all your windows to let the fresh air enter. If this will not work probably it is not the air from outside but the temperature inside your house that has a problem. In order to cool down a room you can spray a sheet with cold water and use it to cover the window’s opening but make sure that the drapes are not as wet as freshly washed. As the breeze passes through the damp drapes, it will bring in chilled air and further helping to reduce the temperature in your home. Use thin drapes rather than those thick one that are commonly used in an air conditioned room. Not all the time you need to open your window. Keep in mind that opening windows is not the solution to cool down your home, sometimes hot breeze from outside should not enter the home because it will just rise the temperature inside. Instead, schedule your windows. Open all the windows during night time. The temperature outdoors cools at night, and that’s the air you want to let into your home. The best thing that you can do in order to trap the cooler air in your home is by closing the window while the sun is up and open them during night. Avoid generating amounts of heat by turning off the appliances that you don't use. There are some appliances especially those with built-in fan exhaust too much heat. This heat will increase the temperature inside your home. Latest Posts:
