Request ServiceThe Best Way to Cool Older Homes
If you have an older home, there’s a good chance it doesn’t have a central HVAC system that employs ductwork to deliver cool air to various rooms in your house. There are several ways to cool a home without a central duct system so that you can stay comfortable throughout those sweltering summer days.
1. Keep the Sun Outside
Preventing your home from heating up in the first place is the most energy-efficient way to keep everything cool and comfortable. Keeping windows covered during the day with blinds or shades can thwart the direct rays of the sun from heating the air in your residence. Planting trees around your home can also provide shade to block the sun. If you have awnings on your house, keeping them extended during the sunny parts of the day can also keep the sun at bay.
2. Don’t Add Heat to Your Home
Cooking and baking inside can add large amounts of heat to the interior of your house. BBQs and other forms of outside cooking are a great option during the summer.
3. Install a Ductless Mini-Split Air Conditioner
Modern ductless mini-split air conditioners can be a great option for cooling older homes when it gets hot outside. These small units can be mounted on a wall of any room in your house. They have the capability to cool large quantities of air in a highly energy-efficient fashion. The technicians from De Soto Electrical Products can install any make or model of mini-split system and help you choose the right arrangement for your individual needs.
