With temperatures soaring, a few small updates can make your home much more comfortable—whether or not you have the luxury of A/C!

Indoors:

Boost A/C Efficiency
Replace air filters and make sure vents aren’t blocked. Keep blinds or curtains closed during peak sun hours.

No A/C? Create a Breeze
Use fans strategically—place box fans by windows at night, and run ceiling fans counterclockwise. A frozen damp towel in front of a fan adds a cooling boost.

Switch to Light Fabrics
Swap heavy bedding and dark décor for lighter cotton or linen to help rooms feel cooler.

 

Outdoors:

Add Shade
Use umbrellas, shade sails, or even a sheet to block direct sun. This helps both outdoor and indoor spaces stay cooler.

Cool Touches
Set out a water bowl or misting fan for relief. Water gardens early, and move potted plants into shaded spots.

These simple tweaks can make a big difference during a heatwave—stay safe and cool!
