Something I noticed over the years is that when the sun pours through the windows, the new home begins to heat up.
For the most part, I would just crank up the A/C plan a little more, but over the years I have noticed how the A/C plan has been struggling because of that.
My wifey has consistently been accustomed to leaving the windows wide open to let all the sun in. When I looked into odd energy saving tips though, I l gained that it’s best to keep the shades closed when the sun is shining through the windows. The windows then can be opened when the sun moves to the other side of the house. When I tried to tell my wifey this energy saving tip, she told myself and others it was nonsense. So I couldn’t win with that energy saving tip, although I did learn there were other things that could be done. The two of us could install awnings on the windows, grow trees around the house, or the people I was with and I could consistently go for newer windows that did a fine job of blocking the sunshine. I also l gained a better tip which was to apply film to the windows that had a tint and would either reflect the sun heating or block it from coming through. I decided to do this, apply the sun protection film on all the windows and what a difference it made! While it would be better if I went for better windows, that film has worked wonders and not having to upgrade the windows admittedly saves myself and others a lot of currency that I could spend on a new Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C plan or car.
