Don't Have Air Conditioning in Your Home? 4 Ways to Keep Your Space Cool

One of the most annoying things to occur during summer days or on those days when the temperature levels are high is for your AC to fail. This situation can really frustrate you because the heat will make you feel uncomfortable. But no need to worry; there are things you can do to remedy the situation. Here are four ways to keep your space cool.

Properly Position the Fan

There are two kinds of fans – the ceiling fan and the portable fan. Both are very efficient substitutes for an air conditioning unit, but it all depends on the positioning. As you know, fans don't really cool a room; they move air around, creating a breeze responsible for the cooling effect. So, during your ceiling fan installation, ensure that the installers are professionals and certified. You should request that the fan be installed at the coolest part of the house and angled towards the hottest part. By doing this, the cooler air would be drawn in while the hot air is pushed out. You can also make a makeshift air-cooling system using a portable fan where you place a bowl of ice in front of the fan at an angle then the fan will spread the cool moisture around the room.

Switch Bulbs

Bulbs are also known to increase the level of heat in your space, especially incandescent light bulbs since almost 90% of the energy they use is wasted on generating heat. The best choice for bulbs in your home or space should be the energy-saving and efficient LED bulbs or the compact fluorescent lamps (CFL). Not only will they help with cooling your room, but they will also reduce your energy bill significantly.

Install a Programmable Thermostat

Technology has improved our ways of life. There is a thermostat that can be programmed to control the room's temperature. The only secret is using quality equipment and having qualified, certified individuals install it for you like Trane South. This thermostat can detect the change in room temperature and adjust it to your liking without you moving an inch.

Open Your Windows at Night

If you happen to live in areas where the temperature is high during the day and drops during the night, this is for you. Open your windows during the night to let in the cool cold air, then close the windows during the day to ensure that the cool air doesn’t escape.

There are different ways to cool your home if you don't own an air conditioning unit on top of those listed above.
