Ways to Keep Your Home Cool

air filter

The warmer months are upon us, which means that homeowners will strive to keep their homes as cool as possible. Although an air conditioner is the best solution to the problem, it can also be the most expensive. If you’re looking to keep your home cool this spring (in preparation for summer), then here are some simple ways to do so:

Close the Door

One of the most significant ways in which cold air leaves our home is when doors aren’t shut. Believe it or not, if you have either the fan or AC on, open doors will let the cool air escape — and regarding a cooling unit, will make it work overtime to cool your entire home. If you’re looking for the best way to keep your home cool, and to not waste the cold air, merely keep the door shut to any room that’s not in use. This will not only save money on your energy bill but will make a significant difference when it comes to cooling your home!

Use Your Bathroom Exhaust Fan

Another “cooling hack” that really works is to turn on the exhaust fan in your bathroom. Not only will this be the perfect way to keep your home cool, but it will also be the best solution to removing any hot air or humidity. Although you’re not taking a shower, a bathroom exhaust fan will work as the perfect solution to any humid home; it’s the same concept as a hot shower. To start, just flick the switch on — and you’re instantly on your way to a cooler home!

Open the Windows

The most straightforward solution to keeping your home cool? Open the windows at nighttime. Believe it or not, this is the best way to let fresh air within your home — and to keep cool at the same time, too. If you’re looking for the ultimate way to let the cool air in your home, then it’s best to open the top half of your windows, since this is the solution to getting warm air to leave your home and let the cool air in. Right away, you’ll feel a difference in your home — and may opt to continue this method all year long!
