Maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature during severe heat waves when outdoor weather hits one hundred degrees involves blocking heat gain and optimizing your HVAC system. Start by closing all blinds, drapes, and window shades early in the morning before the sun peaks, preventing solar heat from flooding your living spaces. Keep windows shut tightly to lock out hot air and humidity. Set your air conditioning thermostat to a realistic, energy-efficient target like seventy-eight degrees, and make sure your indoor air filter is clean to allow maximum airflow. Enhance personal comfort by running ceiling fans in occupied rooms. Avoid generating indoor humidity by using kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans. You can troubleshoot hot spots easily. You can verify that your cooling strategies are effective when indoor temperatures stay refreshingly comfortable.
