1. Pull cool air in
Take advantage of the outside temperature at night by swapping out the warm air inside your house for cool outside air. So what is the proper way to do this? Point one fan out the window. First, pick the room in your house that you want to cool the most, it can be your bedroom. Next, open the window there. This is where the cool air will rush in. Then go to a different room located across the house from the one you just picked. Open one window in there and place a fan by it pointing outward. With the help of the fan, the warm air will go out and create a low-pressure system in the house which should suck cool air into your home through the window left open in the bedroom or what you picked.

2. Circulate basement air
Do you have a basement? Chances are it will be a few degrees cooler than the upper floor of your house. You can spread the cool air from the basement through the house using a basement fan that points upstairs.
3. Keep the heat out
It’s important to close your windows as soon as the outside temperature climbs above the indoor temperature as you want to keep as much of that cool night air in as possible. Block out direct sunlight by pulling your curtains and blinds.
