Close Blinds and Curtains

Not the most social option but one of the easiest ways to avoid the sun heating up your home is by blocking it out. You could close your blinds or curtains lessening the exposure to the sun. Furthermore, remember that the sun will change position during the day so you may need to alternate.

Avoid Creating More Heat

During the summer months, it may be a good idea to limit the use of the oven. Furthermore, generally, salads and cold food is preferred by many during the summer. If you are doing a high volume of cooking, try covering your pans to reduce the amount of humidity in your home from excess steam.

Open Your Windows

When you’ve had a long hot day, and the sun has finally started to set, it is natural for us to let the cooler air into our homes. Opening your windows on two different sides of the house can create airflow throughout the house. We sometimes choose to leave our windows open during the evenings. It is relevant to consider security when leaving windows open. Remember to have the security latches on. However, if your windows have a trickle ventilation system, you can move them to an open position and keep your windows shut, this will help with circulation of the cool air and keep your home secure. 

Energy Efficient Lighting

Various lighting can give off a serious amount of heat in our homes. LED and fluorescent bulbs may generate less heat than your most common light bulbs. Switching to LED or fluorescent lighting will make a difference. Plus, the LED will generate a high brightness and intense light in your home. Furthermore, these lighting alternatives may help to reduce your energy bills over time.

Invest In Double Glazing 

Do you have air conditioning in your home? If so double glazed windows can help prevent the fresh air generated by the aircon unit from leaving your home. Furthermore, new double glazed windows can minimise the heat transfer from the outside during the hot summer days.
