Enjoy the following pic ideas. Don't forget to leave us a quick comment below.

  • As the temperature climbs this summer, you may be tempted to crank up the air conditioner. On the other hand, you may be concerned about the increase to your utility bill that may result.

    Fortunately, there are ways to break the cycle and remain comfortable and cool in the summer heat without running the air conditioner at full blast at all times. Here are some simple tips.

1. Get a programmable thermostat

Notes:

  • Run your air conditioner smarter, not harder. A programmable thermostat allows you to set the AC at a higher temperature when you are not at home.
  • This helps keep hot air from getting into the house in the first place and is much more efficient.

2. Close the shades during the day

Notes:

  • When the sun is shining bright and hot during the day, close the shades, blinds, or curtains to prevent the sun’s heat from getting in. This simple step can reduce unwanted heat in your home by up to 30%.
  • Vendors such as Made In The Shade Denver may offer automated shades that make it easy to open and close them by remote control or with a voice command.

3. Open the windows at night

Notes:

  • Depending on where you live, the temperature outside tends to drop to a much cooler level once the sun goes down. Once this happens, you can open the windows and let the cool air circulate in.
  • You can leave the windows open for a few hours and close them before going to bed, or you can leave them open all night. Be sure to check the weather report first, though. If there is a rainstorm in the night, you could wake up to a soggy mess in the morning.

4. Use fans

Notes:

  • Fans do not actually change the temperature of the room, but they do help air to circulate. You can use a fan in combination with open windows.
  • If the room is hot, you can face the fan toward the outside to blow the hot air out. If the air outside is cool, you can set the fan in the window facing inward to help draw the cool air in.

5. Plant a tree

Notes:

  • Admittedly, you’ll have to wait a while to reap the full benefits of this, but a mature tree can shade your home and keep it from getting too hot.
  • Not only that, but it also helps to combat the underlying problem of greenhouse gases that cause the climate to become hotter by converting carbon dioxide into oxygen.
