  • Most important- clean your air conditioning filters every two weeks during heavy use.
  • Open windows in the evening or early morning to let cool breezes in, but close them (and lower the blinds) as soon as the summer sun is at full strength.
  • Keep all unnecessary electronic devices off — even unplugged — when you’re not using them. Televisions, computers, and video-game systems are all heat generators.
  • Wear loose-fitting cotton clothing. If you’re at home in your apartment, stay cool by wearing less!
  • Keep your ceiling fan running with the blade spinning counter-clockwise. (Turn it off when you’re not in the room.)
  • Wait until after dark to wash dishes, run laundry or perform any chore that will either make you sweat or heat up your apartment!
