While many people resort to an air conditioner to keep their homes cool, it might not be an affordable option as it drains one's pockets as well.
Here's a list of hacks you can try try to keep the house temperature down this summer.
Make your own DIY air conditioner
To make your own DIY AC, all you need to do is position a bowl of ice in front of a fan; this will ensure that the cool air circulates in the room.
Close your blinds
Up to 30% of the heat comes from the window, so it becomes important to close your blinds from late morning until early evening. This small move will make your room 10-15 degrees cooler.
Use a damp curtain
This is quite similar to putting ice in front of the fan. In this method, all you need to do is damp a curtain and hang in front of the door or a window. This will make the room breathable.
Sleep like an Egyptian
In this method, you actually sleep using a slightly wet sheet in place of a normal blanket. We recommend laying the damp sheet on top of a dry sheet so that it won’t feel uncomfortable.
Unplug
Since plugging electronics into socket produces heat, unplug all the unnecessary appliances when not in use. Even if the electronics are turned off, it will still produce energy. So it becomes important to literally unplug it.
