Renter-Friendly Ways To Cool Down Your Home
- Flex Power: Between air conditioners and extra fans, your utility bill is likely to spike in the summer months. But you can avoid that spike by utilizing flex power. In a nutshell, flex power means your utilities are spread evenly throughout the year. This way, you pay the same amount every month, thus avoiding any seasonal spike.
- Blackout Curtains: You can keep your home cooler and lower your energy use by closing your blinds when the sun is at its peak. Take things a step further and opt for blackout curtains to block the sun’s rays completely.
- Oscillating fans: A few strategically placed oscillating fans can make all the difference. Place multiple fans near the windows in your apartment to create airflow throughout the unit.
Local Attractions That Will Help You Keep Cool

Here you can indulge in a delicious menu of rotating beers and ciders from the comfort of the patio.
