Opt for LED bulbs

 LED  lights are the best option, both in the summer because they do not emit heat, and throughout the year because they spend less energy and have a longer durability. In addition, there are very modern and discreet options that will give your environment a touch of sophistication. If you want you can opt for this type of lighting with various colors so that you can change depending on the occasion. 

Turn on the appliances at night or... don't call them!

 Regarding washing machines and dishwashers, it is best to avoid turning them on during the day, as they emit heat. It is best to put them to work only at night time to avoid overheating the house.

Already the dryer, the best thing is to give it a vacation! This type of machine heats the environment a lot and this is precisely what we want to avoid at this time of year. And since it's hot outside, he chooses to dry his clothes outdoors.

Plants at home? Absolutely!

Distributing plants everywhere, inside an apartment or a villa, is a great solution for hot days. Why? Because plants help maintain moisture and thus create a feeling of freshness. You should always water them at night, so that the water takes less time to evaporate and can create more moisture in the air.

Closes blinds and curtains during the day

 In the hottest hours, if you want to protect the house by preventing overheating, you should close the blinds and curtains so that the heat does not enter. Only when the outside temperature is lower, at the end of the day, you should open them, including the windows, to generate ventilation.

You can also opt for the trick of our Spanish neighbors and put awnings on the balconies, delaying the arrival of the sun.

Exchange carpets and curtains

 Materials  also have their importance. If you have wool rugs at home, swap them out for fresher ones, such as natural fibers or sisal. And in the case of curtains, opt for some linen , which filter the heat and let the light and breeze through, and also give a feeling of freshness.

Places efficient windows

This tip already requires some investment, but it's for a good cause. We advise you to put double glazing and frames with thermal cut. As for the opening of the windows, you should opt for ones that open horizontally and vertically, the so-called oscillobatentes, as they allow air exchanges.

Uses a fan or air conditioner

This is another tip more expensive, but fast and effective in fighting heat and still less expensive than air conditioning. Our last piece of advice is to buy a fan or air conditioner to immediately refresh a room in the house.
