Keep Your Home Cool During Heat Waves
By making a few adjustments, you
and your home can stay cooler when
the summer heat waves hit. Following
are some tips from the Oregon Office
of Energy.
Window shading: Install exterior
window awnings or plant trees and
shrubs to keep the direct sun from
reaching your windows and heating
your home.
Pre-cooling: At night, open
skylights or upper story windows to let
warm air out; open lower story windows
to let the cool night air in. Close your
windows and doors in the morning to
keep the cool air in as long as possible.
Ventilation fan: Install an attic
ventilation fan to remove heat and
improve your home’s ability to cool
off. This will make your night cooling
more effective.
Lighting: Turn off lights whenever
possible. Lighting, especially incandes
cent, generates unwanted heat inside
your home.
Replace standard incandescent
light bulbs with cooler compact
fluorescent bulbs to help reduce
heat inside your home. Compact
fluorescent bulbs use
approximately 70
percent
less
energy
than
standard light
bulbs, put out
less heat, and last
much longer.
Appliances: Operate your clothes
washer, dryer, and dishwasher in the
evening so they don’t add heat to the
house during the day. Avoid baking and

stove-top cooking during the day. Cook
at night, use the barbecue or serve a
salad and other cold dishes for meals.
Take cool showers.
Air conditioning: You can save
energy by turning the thermostat up. Set
your thermostat at 78° when you’re
home and at 85° when you’re away for
extended periods of time.
Service or tune-up air conditioning
equipment annually. Clean or replace
filters monthly - or sooner if
you can’t see light through the filter.
Clean filters make it easier for the
system to work, keeping its perform
ance level high.
If you have central air conditioning
that’s more than 10 years old or a
window air conditioner more than eight
years old, consider replacing it. Newer
systems can be much more efficient.
