How to keep your house cool in the summer without AC

Me: opens window. Mosquito: hehe

Step 1: open your fridge Step 2: get inside the frdige

This definitely works, I've been doing this for a few years and haven't used my AC in 3 years. I live in a 2 story house, so my fan points outside from an upstairs window, and the other window is open downstairs. Since warm air naturally rises, I don't bother with a downstairs fan pointing upstairs, and my house in the morning can be pretty chilly. People look at me strangely when I try to explain this technique, so I will definitely be sharing this video.

Pro tip: Place the fan like between one or two meters away from the window. This actually increases the outflow of hot air, thereby increasing the inflow of cold air.

It’s literally soo hot that it’s cooler inside than it is outside

I’ll save this video... for next summer 😂😂😂

This technique saved us! Actually works!! We have no AC and kids were sweating and crying! Now glad we can sleep cool! Thanks for this💕

“How to keep your house warm while it’s hot outside”

This is great advice for people who live in areas that actually get cool at night. I really wish I could just keep out the heat during the day and then air out the house at night and skip the AC altogether most days. No such luck in the southern US where our summer "lows" are 75F with near 100% humidity. Works great for about one week in April and another week in October, though!

One note: If you are at home during the hot day, bear in mind, that every piece of electronics you use, creates additional heat, that will accumulate in your house over time. Using electronics, that has high temperatures in load (like a PC/laptop/console during gaming sessions, owen, kettle, etc.), will eventually build up the heat inside - as there is hotter outside, the heat will just keep accumulating - you might end up in an enviroment with much higher temperature, than outside temperature. Also, sometimes it´s actually better to leave your windows open during the day, even tho the temperature outside is much higher. The difference between outer and inner pressure will make the air move, making the high temperatures more bearable.

I do keep the window blinds closed during the summer to keep the sun rays out, it makes all the difference.

I tried this all the time, of course it works, but it have glaring security issue; on an apartment situated above the ground it is okay to use Fan & open windows but on a bungalow on the ground you need to install windows grill, insect net, and a dedicated exhaust fan to keep unwanted stuff outside.

I've been doing thie fan thing since mid July. It helps. But the smoke from all the fires gets sucked in too; especially at night and early morning.

Currently dealing with a heatwave in the UK... ITS TOOO HOT AND US BRITISH ARE NOT USED TO THIS!! We only know rain!

Thanks for advice... my mom also uses this technique, she knows it for a long time now, she does this without fans, without electricity , she opens some windows and doors during night, and closes everything during day

Better late than never, eh?

Well gosh summer is almost officially over :)

Ladies and gentleman its that time of the year we all love. The "staying up at 3:00 because its too hot and cannot turn the fan because its too loud" time. I still have no idea why summer needs to exist?

Dosnt help when nighttime is still muggy and humid just allowing all the hot air in again at night
