But what if you don\u2019t have AC or don\u2019t want the electric bills to burn a hole in your bank account? Here\u2019s how we stay cool at home when the temperature heats up. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DIY a Shady Breeze<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lowering the blinds during the day to block extra sunlight can decrease your home\u2019s internal temperature by up to 20 degrees. Choose light-colored blinds to reflect instead of absorb heat, and add a cross-breeze with a DIY air conditioner. Just place a shallow pan of ice in front of a fan, and let the air spray a cooling mist as the ice melts.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/diy-a-shady-breeze.jpg\" alt=\"DIY-a-shady-breeze\" class=\"wp-image-8001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/diy-a-shady-breeze.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/diy-a-shady-breeze-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/diy-a-shady-breeze-680x480.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cook Outside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you can\u2019t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen\u201d is pretty good advice when it comes to summer cooking.

Switch out your winter flannel for lightweight, breathable cotton (or blends like percale or sateen) that will stay cool and wrinkle-free through hot nights. If you really need to cool down quickly, pop your sheets into a bag and chill them in the freezer an hour before bedtime.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/choose-cotton-sheets.jpg\" alt=\"Choose-cotton-sheets-\" class=\"wp-image-7999\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/choose-cotton-sheets.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/choose-cotton-sheets-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/choose-cotton-sheets-680x480.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reverse The Ceiling Fans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Switch your ceiling fan to rotate counter clockwise, pushing cool air down toward the floor (and you). In the winter, reverse the fan to clockwise to circulate rising warm air. To easily see the direction of the blades, stand underneath the fan. If you feel air flow from the fan, it\u2019s spinning counter clockwise.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/reverse-the-ceiling-fans.jpg\" alt=\"Reverse-the-ceiling-fans\" class=\"wp-image-8003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/reverse-the-ceiling-fans.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/reverse-the-ceiling-fans-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/reverse-the-ceiling-fans-680x480.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep The Doors Open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might seem intuitive to close the doors of a room where an AC or fan is running to trap cool air inside, but it turns out an open door policy is best. Air is constantly traveling through a home, and closing the door interrupts\u2014but doesn\u2019t stop\u2014its flow. Your AC or fan ends up using <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> energy trying to maintain the steady airflow through the door\u2019s cracks.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/keep-the-doors-open.jpg\" alt=\"keep-the-doors-open\" class=\"wp-image-8002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/keep-the-doors-open.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/keep-the-doors-open-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/keep-the-doors-open-680x480.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Natural Light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you switch on a light, you\u2019re also adding heat to the room. Turn off the lights and unplug any electronics (phones, laptops, floor lamps, speakers) when they\u2019re not in use. This quick habit not only keeps the electric bill down, but also the temperatures, too.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/use-natural-light.jpg\" alt=\"Use-natural-light\" class=\"wp-image-8004\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/use-natural-light.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/use-natural-light-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/use-natural-light-680x480.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-coblocks-dynamic-separator is-style-line\" style=\"height:50px\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>For everything from Appliance Installation &amp; Repairs (including AC) to Organization, book Taskers to help cool down your home for summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/?utm_source=org_soc&amp;utm_medium=blg&amp;utm_campaign=0&amp;utm_content=summercool&amp;utm_term=0\" style=\"color:#fffce4;background-color:#0a2b14\">Prep For Summer<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As summer gets in full swing and drives most of us indoors, cranking up the AC seems like an easy escape from the summer heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7992,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5513751],"tags":[55599,644937109,6335,644935431],"class_list":["post-7991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-how-to","tag-ac","tag-appliance-installation-and-repairs","tag-organization","tag-summer"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
