Savvy New Home Builders Saving Cool Cash This Summer

Using you air con throughout summer keeps you cool, but it drains your bank account. The temperature increases dramatically over summer in WA, along with the cost of our power bills! Here are a few tips to keep cool during summer without  drying up your savings.

Most heat that accumulates inside new homes (Perth) comes directly from the sun shining onto the roof or through windows. To combat the heat, plant leafy trees and shrubs around your home’s exterior to stop so much sun from reaching the inside. 

Prevention is better than cure! Experts say up to 30 percent of unwanted heat comes from your windows, which are best covered from the inside. Keep curtains and blinds closed during the day to block the heat and direct sunlight.

Fire up the BBQ rather than using the kitchen oven. Sounds obvious, but when it’s already scorching hot, using your oven or stove-top will definitely make it worse. Same applies for halogen lights, dishwashers and dryers; avoid using heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. 

You can improvise an evaporative cooler by drying a load of washing in front of a fan. This nifty trick will also save your clothes, because sun exposure gradually fades coloured fabric.

Rather than focussing on cooling the entire house, concentrate your efforts on cooling you. Avoid sleepless summer nights by placing a hot water-bottle filled with ice-cold water by your feet, and a spray bottle by your bed to keep your body damp. And never underestimate hydration! Keep stacks of water cool in the fridge and encourage everyone in the family to drink it often.
