1. Close windows in the morning and open at night

To keep your dwelling cool, as well as lessen any heat build-up than might occur inside the home, close your windows early in the morning (often the coolest part of the day), then open them in the evening to cleanse your dwelling with fresh, cool air.

2. Turn off lights when not in use

Lights, especially incandescents can give off a lot of heat, so it is a good idea to switch off any unnecessary illumination. If you can, switch your lights to energy efficient (and cooler) LEDs, which will still look great, but save you money, keep your house cool and promote eco-friendliness.

3. Turn off electronics when not in use

Many appliances, such as laptops and computers, give off heat even when they are switched off. Ensure your technology is shut down and turned off to reduce any excess heat that may be generated in your abode.
