Summer is here and so is the heat! Your air conditioning unit is working overtime and your energy costs are rising.  Are there other ways you can cool your house during the hot summer months?

Windows & Doors Closed or Open?

If the temperature outside is warmer than your inside air you will want to keep your windows closed.  On the flip side, if the air is cooler outside than inside it is better to open your windows to cool your house.  

Opening your windows at night during the summer can also help you cool your house.

The Best Solution
