Ways To Stay Cool During The Hot Michigan Summer

When you're hanging inside your home or apartment this summer and cranking up the A/C to the max to try and stay cool these are some other great options to try out.

Block The Sun From Getting In

Close your blinds or invest in some block-out curtains to shield your home from the sun

Cover Your Windows

Use reflective, heat-reducing window film to regulate the temperature

Switch Your Ceiling Fan Setting

Install ceiling fans and run them counterclockwise to draw the cooler air upwards

Don't Let The Cool Air Get Out

Apply weatherstripping to your windows and doors to prevent air leaks

Moisture Can Make It Worse

Use a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the air

Don't Use Your Oven

I'm not saying you have to order out all summer long but consider cooking outside or using a microwave instead of the oven to avoid generating heat indoors

Open Your Doors

Keep interior doors open to promote airflow

Fans Can Help With The Heat

Use a fan to circulate air and create a breeze

Hopefully, some of these tips will help you stay cool during this hot Michigan summer.
