Outdoor Tips For Cooling Your Home

The way we landscape or decorate the exterior of our home can decrease our indoor cooling energy consumption and save us money. Looking to nature for ideas will take you far in your home cooling efforts.

Plant Wisely
Planting crawling vines along the south and west sides of your home or on trellises in front of windows can help insulate the house as well. You can do this with edible vines such as grapevines, for added utility.

Plant The Right Trees
They will also help shade your home from the hot summer sun. And when they drop their leaves in the winter, they will assist in passive solar heating.

Consider Awnings
Used on the south or west facing windows, they will block the angle of the sun coming through the window during he summer while allowing the lower angled winter sun to come in and warm the home.

Reflective Window Film
Residential window tint adds sun control and privacy without sacrificing style. Home window tinting reduces fading and provides UV protection. 3M safety films improve window safety from attempted break-ins and severe weather.

Invest In Solar Shade Screens
Solar shade screens on the outside of windows make a huge difference and are worth the investment. They can be removed during the winter.

Need To Paint?
If your house is in need of a paint job, consider lighter colors which deflect rather than absorb the light.

Redoing Your Roof?
Light-colored roof shingles also help decrease any heat absorption by deflecting sunlight.  Roof based heat reflective insulation will also help.
