- The oven adds unnecessary heat to the house so try using a crockpot as an alternative.
- Closing the blinds can help keep the cool air in on those super-hot days.
- Temporary tints on windows can help reduce heat and still let you see the beautiful outdoors.
- Save on appliances that are not in use by unplugging to save any extra costs on your electric bill.
Now that you have some techniques to keep your home cool without breaking the bank; sit back and enjoy the season!
