Something I noticed over the years is that when the sun pours through the windows, the home begins to heat up.
For the most part, I would just crank up the AC plan a little more, but over the years I have noticed how the AC plan has been struggling because of that.
My wifey has always been accustomed to leaving the windows wide open to let all the sunlight in. When I looked into bizarre energy saving tips though, I l received 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, however I did learn there were other things that could be done. We could install awnings on the windows, grow trees around the house, or all of us could always go for newer windows that did a nice task of blocking the sunshine. I also l received 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 update the windows admittedly saves myself and others a lot of currency that I could spend on a new Heating and A/C plan or car.
