As temperatures climb to 95°F and beyond, it’s important to keep your home cool, comfortable, and safe. At the Lucas Howard Group, we don’t just help you find the perfect home, we’re here to help you take care of it too.
Here are a few quick and effective ways to beat the heat this week:
1. Use a Dehumidifier
While it doesn’t cool the air directly, a dehumidifier pulls moisture out of the air, making your space feel less sticky and more comfortable. Bonus: it also helps prevent mold, mildew, and damage to woodwork. That’s a win-win.
2. Replace Old Light Bulbs
Swapping out traditional incandescent bulbs for LED alternatives can help keep your home cooler and save energy. Did you know a standard 100-watt bulb can raise a room’s temperature by over 11 degrees an hour? That heat adds up fast!
3. Block Out the Sun
Natural light is great but during a heat wave, it can warm your home fast. Close your blinds and use blackout curtains or tinted window film to reduce indoor temperatures by 10–15 degrees. Small change, big impact.
At Lucas Howard Group, we’re here for all your home needs whether you’re buying, selling, or just looking to stay cool.
