Of course everyone likes to pay for the convenience of having air conditioning, but that may be responsible for ensuring that? My husband and I certainly am not, and since 2001. The first time this election, mainly because it was literally put us in debt. Every since then we have found other ways to beat the heat. Even after we finally got to the point that we could afford to pay for air conditioning, we have decided not to do so.
With the cost of energy, food, health and otherNeed to continue to grow, I know that many people are coming, in a pinch, if they have not already. Since the air conditioning is a luxury, not a necessity, I thought I would show how well we can do without him.
Here in Arkansas, the temperature often 9-10 degrees Fahrenheit for a month or two. Moisture seems to be in the 70s, often make the heat index rises above 110 degrees. The temperature inside our home in July and Augustis usually in the 90s at night. Needless to say, very uncomfortable.
It really is not as difficult as everyone thinks, is to go without AC. However, if you can afford before you turn off your air conditioning you want to install ceiling fans in every room. We keep all our fans day and night, and we have a total of six bathrooms. Currently we have two floor fans for our bedrooms and living rooms. Our highest electric bill today, according to a recentIncrease in price of about $ 15 a month, about $ 53.
The real secret to staying cool is the use of water. During the daytime, using low-cost pool of $ 100 from Wal-Mart. Since these are not put under him with a towel or blanket for the top, we bought two three-meter springboard and covers for $ 25, which works perfectly. We just tie the two together. So far the pool has lasted for three years. Now is not that big and expensivelaughter of some of our neighbors above us because they have a great, but definitely works and helps to bear the heat.
In the evening when the humidity starts to rise, it becomes a bit 'more difficult. What can I do to stay in a cool shower to lower the temperature of my body. So I carry as little as me, and put a cold wet towel around his neck, legs or arms, or wherever I need. At night when I sleep, I put a wet towel on my upper body. The heat is largerthe towel. That way I can still sleep all night.
Then, finally, it is very important to stay hydrated throughout the day, because obviously you sweat more than you would if you were an air conditioner. Ice or other cold treats can also help your body cool. Cold food or cooking outdoors will help cool the house as well. The elimination of the use of an air conditioning system not only saves a lot of money, but also helps the environment.
