l Improve home insulation. Seal doors, windows,
and close fireplace flue.
l Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of house.
Add window awnings.
l Keep air filter clean. Do not block airflow with
drapes or furniture.

normal cooling load).

the hottest part of the day. Turn lights, radios,
televisions, and other appliances off when not
needed.
l Keep heat registers and cool air returns closed
or blocked off so cooled air won?t escape.
