Tips to Keep Cool over autumn
June 27th, 2015 · Published to Shade Solutions
In many countries in the world, when March knocks on the door, it means the temperature will be lower, and much more pleasant than during the summer. However, the situation is a bit different in Australia, because the average max temperature during autumn periods in Queensland for example, is 27 degrees. It means that autumn in Australia is very warm as well.
Many homeowners are searching for solutions which are affordable. Spending $1200 for an air conditioner and its installation is a very expensive proposition. Moreover, the costs will not end there. When you start using the air conditioner, you can expect electricity bills which will be anything but low. It means that you will spend a fortune each month to cover all the costs.
Thankfully there are other solution and shade structures are available which are not as expensive. They not only help cool your home, but they’re also Eco-friendly.
Fan instead of air conditioner – you may start with some simple solutions. If you choose the fan instead of an air conditioner, it will still use energy, but much less than the air conditioner. Since there are portable fans, you can place them wherever you want. Moreover, they are used not only for summer and autumn periods, but during the winter as well, thanks to different modes. Also, you can use a fan indoors, and outside as well. The choice is yours.
Landscaping and vegetation – vegetation planting is always an excellent choice. You will make your garden more beautiful and green, and at the same time, vegetation always makes the area cooler and more comfortable. Trees and shrubs all around can make a huge difference. Water features are also extremely useful. Give your best to avoid placing concrete or paving in the areas where your windows are, because the heat will be reflected.
Fill the gaps around your home – any cracks and gaps around should be sealed, such as areas under doors, any large cracks, the frames around doors and windows, etc.
Ventilate properly – as long as the temperature outside is cooler, keep your windows and doors open. As soon as you notice that the temperature in your home is higher, close windows and doors.
