How To Stay Cool Without Spending Alot On AC

by Missy on Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Summer is here and depending where you live, it might be pretty hot already. In some cities (such as mine) it’s already in the 90’s daily.

But how do you stay cool and not blow a bundle on air conditioning every month? Below I present four quick tips.

1. Wear light layers and stay away from fabrics that retain heat such as polyester. Bring out the cottons. Light cotton fabrics will keep you cool and or absorb sweat away from the body.

2. Use fans instead of AC throughout the house, these use up less energy.

3. Someone in this thread suggested to place plants near windows to absorb solar radiation. Good tip!

4. My favorite would be to take a cold shower. Use the water sparingly, but this is a great way to cool down.

Thank you for the tips. I live in FL and have found that geothermal air conditioning is one way to stay cool and still think of the environment. They are more expensive at first, but the energy savings (50% or more) along with the tax credits (30%) for installing geothermal air conditioning pays for itself in a few years. Just a thought…
