Five Top Tips For Summer

Summer can be wonderful time but can also be a dreaded season as many people struggle to keep cool. Here are five tips and tricks
to keep you cool this summer season.
1. Keep blinds closed: 30% of unwanted heat comes from your windows.
2. Swap your sheets: Replace your winter sheets for cotton ones as they breathe easier and stay cool.
3. Be smart about your doors: Close off rooms that aren’t in use then at nighttime open doors or windows to let the cooler air flow through the house.
4. Turn off your lights: Lights give off heat so be sure to take advantage of the natural light.
5. Use your BBQ: Ovens put off a lot of heat so get outside and start grilling to keep inside your house cool.
