Hi there, time to share ways to keep your home cool during hot times

So ok, usual ways I use:

  • open everything during night
  • close everything during day
  • external sheets on windows without shutters
  • some curtains to prevent heat from going upstairs

I was also wondering if plants could also help inside, any ideas ?

Share your advices !

    I’ve been getting by just fine with a couple standing fans. I’ve had to turn the ACS on a couple times for my kids when I was around 110F

    Before going full blast AC in all the rooms I’ll turn on the big Window unit in the living room and set up fans so it blows the cold air through the whole house (our house isn’t big) and I find its a good middle ground. It cools down the rooms pretty well.
