Bonus: Don’t Cool an Empty House
If nobody is home for several hours, you may not need to maintain exactly the same indoor temperature as when everyone is there.
A programmable or smart thermostat can help adjust the temperature according to your schedule.
However, avoid setting temperatures to unsafe levels for pets, children, older adults, or anyone who may be sensitive to heat.
A Quick Summer Checklist
Before the next hot day, check these:
☐ Close blinds or curtains during peak sunlight
☐ Open windows when outdoor air is cooler
☐ Use fans strategically
☐ Avoid unnecessary oven use
☐ Check your AC filter
☐ Keep exterior doors and windows closed while cooling
☐ Turn off unnecessary electronics
☐ Consider energy-efficient LED lighting
☐ Reduce unnecessary hot-water use
☐ Check attic insulation and ventilation if needed
Final Thoughts
Keeping your home comfortable during summer doesn’t always mean turning the AC to its lowest setting.
Simple habits such as controlling sunlight, improving airflow, reducing unnecessary heat sources, and maintaining your cooling system can make your home more comfortable.
If your home remains unusually hot even when your cooling system is running properly, consider having your HVAC system, insulation, windows, and other possible sources of heat gain evaluated by a qualified professional.
