From TexAgs Sponsor, Red Pear Realty:

It is HOT, and summer is barely beginning. Red Pear Realty has some tips to help your home stay cool this summer:

1. Improve Insulation and Ventilation

• Seal Gaps: Ensure doors and windows are properly sealed.
• Upgrade Insulation: Insulate walls, roofs, and attics to reduce heat transfer.
• Ventilation: Use fans and exhaust systems to improve airflow.

2. Use Energy-Efficient Window Treatments

• Reflective Films: Apply reflective window films to block heat.
• Blinds and Shades: Use light-colored or reflective blinds and shades to block direct sunlight.

3. Optimize Your Cooling System

• Maintenance: Regularly service your air conditioning system.
• Programmable Thermostat: Use a programmable thermostat to manage cooling efficiently.
