Hot days are almost here and that unbearable feeling of heat is a problem in itself. Especially in the morning inside the house. There is no air conditioner in the world that can save you, but if you combine it with the tricks below, the house will become the coolest place to spend this summer as well.
Surround yourself with plants / flowers
If you have a small free space, terrace, balcony or garden, especially in the part of the house that is most exposed to the sun, fill it with plants. They will serve as a shield against heat.
Shutters / Windows always closed
30 percent of the heat comes from the windows. Properly utilizing shutters, tents, and the like can lower the indoor temperature by at least 20 degrees. Closing them prevents the creation of a miniature greenhouse in your home, especially in those homes that are positioned by the sun.
Transform the bed into the most environment
Sleep is essential but when it is very hot, trying to sleep can be exhausting. Use a cool pillow while placing cold water bottles on your feet (the opposite of what you do in winter). Of course even a shower would help you sleep fresher and more relaxed.
Select the LED light
Incandescent lamps consume at least 90% of their energy in heat. Replacing them with eco-friendly LED lamps will make the difference in your home temperatures, and at the same time reduce energy bill bills.
Limit cooking
Turning on the cooking stove or oven, contribute to the warmth of the environment. Turn to fresh and raw foods that do not require long cooking such as salads, pasta or cold foods or if you have a garden at home use the carrier.
With eyes out of the water
Often the heat brings with it unpleasant humidity that make the situation even more unbearable. Take a shower at the coolest hours of the day, so as not to make the situation worse.
Choose white
Use your white curtains during the summer in order to avoid the penetration of sunlight into the premises of the house.
Focus on body temperature
Consume cold drinks and wear fresh clothes with Apollo cotton material. Start refreshing yourself and you will see that even the heat will not be felt that much.
Turn off household appliances
In addition to consuming energy, plug-in appliances heat the environment. Unplug when not in use, such as computer, TV, coffee machine, and turn off the lights when you do not need them.
There is always a need for a fan!
Even if with all these tips you can not resist the heat, choose a fan. Remember that it consumes on average 15 times faster than an air conditioner.
