Staying indoors and blasting the AC helps prevent heat-related illnesses. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends staying in an air-conditioned place as much as possible.

Thin curtains allow heat to beam through your home, suffocating cool air. Switch out those thin curtains for black-out curtains.

Black-out curtains pull double-duty. They are temperature-controlled drapes that block out light and the sun.

Black-out curtains are fashionable, coming in different colors and lengths. They preserve coolness in whatever room they are installed in, keeping your air conditioner from pumping extra hard to keep the house cold.

3. Get a Library Card

Reading provides mental stimulation and reduces stress, increasing when done in a cool climate.

Libraries are air-conditioned facilities.

Whether you read books at the library or at home, you’re indoors, cooling down in the air-conditioning.

Ceiling fans circulate cold air. They allow you to set the temperature on your air conditioner four degrees higher and still feel just as cold.

Installing them in each room in your home that has an air conditioning vent or wall unit increases air circulation, keeping rooms cooler longer.
