When you are having a major heat wave, if you want to try to keep the central air conditioner laboring good in your home the best thing to do is to keep all of your blinds closed! If you have curtains, the same thing applies, then yes it makes your home dark as well as dreary looking, however it really helps the central air conditioner do its thing as well as keep your house cool; Especially if you have an older central heating as well as air conditioner plan you will want to do this! Older central heating as well as a/cs do not have the same power as the more current as well as modern central heat as well as a/c units do.
If you happen to have a brand current as well as modern central heating as well as cooling system, you may still want to keep the blinds or curtains closed, however it is not as essential as it is if you have an old Heating as well as A/C system.
I have l gained this over the years through trying odd things when it got really tepid out. My central heating as well as air conditioner plan is an older model so it sometimes can not combat the awful heat of over one hundred degrees when it happens. But when I close everything, it seems to work pretty well. This is my tip to you on how to keep your home nice as well as cool through the worst of a heat wave. Even ones over one hundred degrees! Living in the southwest is how it is most of the time here. So this is always a must for me as well as my lifestyle to be totally honorablewith you.
