With the rising cost of living, I was clearly looking to chop down expenses.
One of the surest ways to save was to minimize daily energy use.
I realized that turning on the AC emptied our pockets more than any other technological luxury I accorded myself, so I went on a mission to look for other ways to cool our whole apartment without using a cooling system or an Heating, Ventilation plus A/C system. I learned for myself that whether you are looking to chop down energy costs or are unable to pay for a/c in your house, there are definite ways to cool your apartment without using a/c. First, often, you will need to hack a fan. Fill a bowl with an ice pack or ice plus put it in front of a super high powered and functional fan to create a simulated ocean breeze. Turn on the fan at full blast plus care about the freezing, misty breeze. Set the ceiling fans to rotate counter-clockwise in your rooms to push the cool air straight down while in summer. You may also want to deeply consider decreasing your fan speed on sweltering nights. Stripping in the cool air is often construed as a Winter time measure, but it is equally effective in summer time, as well, since it prevents cool air from exiting through your windows plus doors.Then, maintain your indoor humidity level at under 60 percent to conserve electricity. Installing insulated window blinds plus cooling curtains also help reduce temperature imbalances in the whole house. The insulated window movies can offer up to 98 percent reduction of unwanted infrared heat than unprotected windows.
