W

ith temperatures rising in many parts

across the region, people are finding it

harder and harder to get some respite from

the heat and humidity without relying on the AC. But,

it has to be said, that cranking the AC all the time can

be hazardous for the environment, not only that, it can

also lead to high electricity bills. If you are looking for

alternate ways to cool down the house then you should

try out these simple and effective tricks.

Here are some ways you can cool down your house this summer without

having to strain your AC all throughout the day

Keep it Cool

Switch to CFL

It is common knowledge that incandescent light

bulbs give off a lot of heat. This is why summertime is

the best time for you to switch to compact fluorescent

lamps. Yes, they are more expensive than the normal

light bulbs that you may be using but you need to

keep in mind that they last longer and give off much

less heat. If that doesn’t convince you enough, then

you should also know that CFLs can help save on the

electricity bill as well.
