Simple Ways to Substitute Air Conditioning This Summer


Air conditioning is truly one of the wonderful inventions of the world. It is a challenge to stay cool in summer without an air conditioner. But luxury comes at a price and the price we are paying in the form of global warming is too huge to bear. Before it’s too late, let’s rethink and start using eco-friendly methods to stay cool this summer. Internal thermostatic activities are not the same for everyone, which means those alternatives which are comfortable for one person might not be equally comfortable for others. So, you can choose the best alternative for air conditioning based on your preference and vulnerability in summer. There are several affordable alternatives for air conditioning to help you with environmental challenges and electricity bills.

Ø It is important to keep your house cool to avoid using air conditioners. Do not use appliances which produce more heat like oven and do not open refrigerators to often without purpose as they dump more heat into the room. Also, do not use old-style incandescent lamps which pump out more heat. If you are living in any good areas like 2BHK flat in Thane GB road in Mumbai or an equally good locality in any metropolitan city, you can visit the nearby picnic spots for a cool morning. As Thane is the city of lakes, you can obviously find perfect spots for your summer activities.

Ø Most of the heat comes from windows. So, draw your curtains tight and make sure the blinds are closed. Also, you can opt for insulated curtains or blackout shades to keep out the unwanted heat. With these steps, you can stop 30% of unwanted heat coming from the windows. Some ready flats in Mumbai, Delhi, or other metropolitan cities are available where these steps can be easier to follow.

Ø You can also keep yourself cool along with cooling the house. You can take cold showers instead of regular habituated hot baths. It is better to prefer less clothing and choose summer fabric. Chilling the pillow while sleeping or using a cooling vest helps too.

Ø Fans might be traditional in invention but technology has taken them beyond. You have advanced fans in the market which can be the best alternatives for air conditioning. Free standing fans, attic fans, ceiling fans, and bed fans are the most common types. Technology has brought in improved fans, bladeless fans, misting fans for patio, and others.

Ø Even the adiabatic coolers follow the same principle as that of improved fans. Hot air in the room passes through the humid heat exchanger of the adiabatic cooler which sends out the cool and fresh air. It works with a water tank which can be filled even with ice cubes, but it needs to be full all the times when you plug it in the socket.

Ø An evaporative cooler is an elaborative alternative to air conditioning. This is also known as swamp cooler which blows air over water-soaked pads to keep the surrounding air cool. They are cheaper and easy to maintain when compared to central air conditioners.
