Show Your Home a Little Love During the Hottest Month
Hot and muggy August is here. And that means your home eats up a ton of energy to stay cool. Are you doing everything you can to ease your rising energy costs? Here are some easy steps to help your home operate more efficiently.
1. Up on the roof – Heat collects in attics and crawl spaces, making the rest of your house hotter than it should be. Install an attic fan to get rid of hot air and lower your cooling costs in the process.
2. Outdoor window awnings – These can prevent a great deal of sunlight and heat from entering your home, especially for windows facing south.
3. Draw your blinds – If you can’t install awnings, a less costly solution would be to draw your blinds, especially during the heat of mid-day. Interested in the hottest news on the local real estate market? Reach out now for the scoop
