How To Cool Down During The Summer Months?

It is summertime, the temperatures are rising, is hard not to overheat. If you need to stay in town during the summer months, we offer you some tips to spend this summer easily.

Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables

Heavy food is what you should avoid during these hot summer days. It will burden your digestive system, so try to include vegetables in your meals. They are a good source of dietary fiber that helps pass food through your digestive system and may also improve vitamin and mineral absorption in the body. Cool down some fruit and have a healthy summer snack.

Close your blinds

Keep your blinds closed, especially on north and west-facing windows, to significantly cool your home. Also, close the doors to the rooms you are not using so you keep cool air in the space that you need it most.

Spend time indoor

During the day, when the Sun intensity is the strongest, stay at home. It will help you to protect your skin from UV rays, which are unhealthy. Spend time outdoor during the evenings, when the air is fresher.

What Temperature Should I Set My Air Conditioner in Summer?

When deciding which temperature to set your thermostat to, consider the outdoor temperature. The less difference between the outdoor and indoor temperatures, the less energy your heating and cooling system will use. The less energy your HVAC uses, the lower your electricity bill. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the ideal home temperature during summer is 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

 

Don’t forget to keep your HVAC system clean. Nothing worse than stale air on hot summer days.
