Replace your shingles<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; To keep your roof cool, you can utilize the \u201ccool roof\u201d method. When having a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/3-things-a-new-homeowner-should-know-about-the-roof-over-their-head\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new roof<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> installed, choose a light color shingle that reflects light. This will help you save up to 15% on your cooling bills and cause less damage to your roof. One of the most affordable ways to do this \u2013 without replacing your roof \u2013 is to paint your shingles a light color. You can do this yourself, but check your shingle manufacturer\u2019s warranty to be sure it doesn\u2019t become void by paint.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Place an awning or shade on the exterior of your house <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; This is important especially over east, south, and west-facing windows if there\u2019s no landscaping to provide natural shade. An awning will block the worst of the sun\u2019s rays from your windows. As a result, you\u2019ll benefit from the natural light but gain protection from the heat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Vent out hot air <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0&#8211; To cool a hot kitchen quickly, use the range hood vent to remove steam and hot air from cooking. The bathroom vent will do the same after a shower or bath. And always vent hot air from your dryer directly out of the home. You will prevent the home from heating up and stay comfortable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. Plant shade plants <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Consider <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/landscaping-guide-choosing-trees\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">planting trees<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and bushes outside your windows that will soak up heat and provide you with\u00a0 shade. These take time to grow, so you\u2019ll want to buy mature trees if possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>5. Invest in better insulation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Doors, windows, and wall insulation with higher R values will help keep the heat out and the cool air in during the summer, and vice versa in the winter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your home cool during extreme heat can be a multi-step process, but one that\u2019s worthwhile. You\u2019ll protect your home systems from damage and stay comfortable at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your home is supposed to be your own personal oasis.
