On seriously warm mornings, we may even put up blackout curtains on some of our larger windows! Another thing that greatly helps with blocking out the dire sunshine that would cause our home to get overly warm is the fact that our home is legitimately in the clearing of a small forest, because all of us are surrounded by trees, we get a fantastic amount of shade, and the sunshine is blocked far more than it would be otherwise, the trees are just far enough away to where they wouldn’t cause damage to our home should they fall over in a storm, but just close enough to give that needed shade from the sun.

Our home is entirely well-insulated. After all, we need to trap that precious, cool air blowing from the vents of the air conditioner, and we don’t cool the whole town, as they say, then perhaps that is exaggerating, but the truth is that a properly insulated home will save you a lot of money on heating and cooling costs. The final thing that all of us do to ensure that all of us save money on our energy costs is actually the most important: we have our A/C method typically inspected by a professional!
