Summer Cooling Tips
The high heat of summer can affect your pocketbook in many ways. Consider these money-saving tips:
INDOORS
- Grill your meals outdoors to keep the kitchen cool.
- Use insulated curtains on windows where the sun hits the hardest.
- Keep the windows shut when your house is cooler than outdoors, but open windows when outside temperatures cool.
- Caulk windows, doors and air conditioning spaces to keep the heat out and cold in.
- Close vents and doors in unused spaces of your home.
- Use fans to aid the air conditioning.
- Service your air conditioner annually.
- Upgrade to a smart thermostat.
ON THE ROAD
- To save fuel and prevent breakdowns, tune-up your vehicle regularly, change oil and air filters, service the air conditioner, inflate tires properly and follow the manufacturer’s specifications for additional upkeep.
- Open the windows to let the hot air out before blasting your vehicle’s AC, then close them.
- Close fresh air vents to keep the hot air out or open them and turn off the AC when cooler outside.
- Park in the shade and garage when possible or use a sunshade when you can’t.
- Avoid quick starts and stops, use the cruise control and reduce your speed.
OUTDOORS
- Keep hydrated and use sunscreen.
- Limit consumption of caffeine and alcohol, which can trigger dehydration.
- Wear a sun hat and light-colored cotton.
- Stay in the shade as much as possible.
- Exercise indoors or early morning or late evening.
- Use products like wearable ice and personal fans to help keep you cool.
- Be aware of the signs of heat exhaustion, which include heavy sweating, rapid pulse, dizziness, fatigue, cool, moist skin with goose bumps, muscle cramps, nausea and headache.
