How Can I Keep the Outside Heat from Increasing the Temperature of My Home?

How Can I Keep the Outside Heat from Increasing the Temperature of My Home? As the temperature is beginning to rise, you may be starting to grow concerned about how you’re going to keep your home cool this summer. The demand placed on your HVAC system to maintain a stable temperature in Florida is jarring and if you have drafty windows it can be near impossible. Thankfully, there are a few DIY tips that you can utilize to keep the temperatures down before upgrading your windows. For example:

  • Keeping your blinds closed will actually allow less heat into your home
  • Closing off unused rooms will prevent cool air from entering those areas and keep the cool where you want it
  • Switch your sheets to a lighter material so that it breathes easier and gives off less heat
  • Set your ceiling fan to rotate counter-clockwise to create a wind-chill breeze effect
