2. Devices
A common mistake in this heat is to leave all of your devices turned on. Devices that generate heat (like lamps, televisions and other electronic devices) can actually collectively heat up a room quite a bit. It’s best to turn them off when you’re not using them. Also avoid using the stove or oven as much as you can: turning these on will cause the temperature in your home to rise rather rapidly.
3. Curtains
It seems like the logical thing to do: you wake up in the morning and the first thing you do is opening all of the curtains. It’s a brand new day, after all! It’s not the smartest thing to do when it’s hot out, though. You’re better off keeping the curtains closed on hot days, especially in the afternoons. That way, you make sure the heat stays out. The right time to open your curtains again is when you’re airing out your home in the evening when it’s cool again.
4. Pillows
Another mistake some people make is that they leave their sofas and chairs covered in pillows and blankets during the summer months. This is actually not a smart thing to do, because all of these items made out of fabric actually retain heat quite a bit. Make your home ready for summer by putting away all of the pillows, blankets, quilts and other things you don’t need. You can put them back when autumn rolls around!
