The key to efficiency and economy in air conditioning, according andto the Refrigeration Institute, is keeping sun heat out of your home. Here are some of the things you can do to reduce the cost of keeping cool. Make sure the walls and roof o? your home contain adequate insulation. You may have to get an Insulation contractor to check this for you, but its important. Without Insulation, the cooling load in your home will be significantly increased, and this means youll have to purchase a larger cooling unit and pay more to run it. Locate glass exposed e"as windows or doors on die south side of you home. There they will be protected from direct sun rays in the summer particularly If you have a roof overhang and from cold winds in the winter. Plant deciduous trees on the east and west sides of your home.. In the summer when they are leafed out, these trees will shade the house against the early morning and late afternoon sun. In the winter, wnen the trees have dropped their leaves, heat from the sun can reach and warm your house. Plant grass and shrubs around your house, particular- ly on the east and west. They will help keep sun heat from bounding through windows and doors. If you can not shield the east and west side of your home with trees, install awnings outside windows and doors, or locate your carport, garage or porch here. These outside elements will work better than curtains, shades or draperies on the inmuch side of windows which block sun rays only afhr theyve entered the house and thus do not prevent sun heat. Paint the walls and roof of your home In light colors which will deflect sun reys. ARI says, although you may not be able to do much about it unless youre building a home, its best to haw your roofline running from east to west. And, if you want to minimize your winter heating bills, plant evergreen shrubs and trees on the north side of your home to screen it against frigid winds.
