I recently came across a newsletter with these handy tips that Briston electric unit owners in particular may find helpful and ecological.



HOMEOWNER  TIPS
 
 5 Ways to Stay Cool Without  Air Conditioning:


1.
When it’s cooler outside than inside, open your windows  instead of using air
conditioning. Use a window fan, blowing toward the  outside, to pull cool air in
through other windows and to push hot air out.  When it’s hotter outside than
inside, close your windows and draw window  coverings against direct
sunlight.


2.
On hot days, delay heat-producing tasks, such as  dishwashing, baking or doing
laundry, until the cooler evening or early  morning
hours.


3.
Caulk around window and door frames, use weather stripping  on exterior doors,
and have a professional seal gaps where air can  travel between the attic
and your living space.


4.
Use energy-efficient lighting in your home. CFL and  LED light bulbs
operate cooler and cost less to use because most of their  energy produces light
instead of heat. Incandescent light bulbs, on the other  hand, lose 90% of their
energy as heat.  


5.
Leafy shade trees planted on the east and west sides of  your home can improve
comfort and decrease cooling needs by blocking heat and  sunlight. You’ll still
have the benefit of heat from the sun in the winter,  after the leaves fall.
Check with your local garden centre for 
recommendations.
