3 Renovations to Prepare Your Home for Summer Heat in Massachusetts

Posted by admin on

Summers in Massachusetts are getting hotter. Last year, the state recorded one of its warmest summers of all time, with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees. This year, meteorologists are warning residents to prepare for another scorcher. To prepare you for the heat, Three Sons Window & Door has put together a guide to make sure your home stays cool all summer long. 

Upgrade Your Insulation to Survive the Heat in MA This Summer:

With proper insulation, your home’s temperatures will stay warm when the heat is on and cold when an AC/ fan is on. Without it, your home’s temperature will be cold when you want it to be hot, and hot when you want it to be cold. This summer, make sure your home isn’t hot while the AC is on. Book an insulation appointment before temperatures start to rise. 

Install New Energy-Efficient Windows (and Shades) to Improve Circulation This Summer in MA

Energy-efficient windows use low-emissive glass, which helps block sun rays, reducing heat transfer by up to 90%. For maximum cooling, you can also install energy-efficient shades that regulate temperatures while adding style to your home. Options include shutters, roller, cellular, and solar shades, and drapes. 

Install New Ceiling Fans to Cool Down in MA This Summer

Looking to add a breeze to your home? Add some fans. As suggested by HouseBeautiful, the home interior magazine, you can also add accessories to make your fan’s air even colder. One tip: placing a bucket of ice in-front of your fan. “As the air passes over the ice it will be chilled and will circulate refreshingly cold air around the room,” the magazine writes.
