1. Closing the drapes
Close the drapes or the curtains of your air conditioner during the summer afternoon. Drapes or curtains will not allow the sunlight to enter the house which will keep the house cooler.
2. Don’t use much appliances
Any of the appliance which runs on electricity gives out heat energy. Try to minimize the usage of ovens, computers during day time. Turn off your fan, TVs when they are not needed.
3. Open windows during evening
Once the sun starts moving down open the windows of your house. During the evening time outdoor temperature falls and the outside air will be cooler than the air in your room. Let the outside air get inside your rooms and provide you comfort.
4. Using fans
Fans will not improve the temperature inside the house but fans circulate the air which will help you feel comfortable. You must turn off the fans when they are not in use as the motors of the fan generate heat energy.
5. Being wet
If you have been outdoors during the day time you must take up a shower after reaching home.
