dows. and ciose firepiace flue).
• Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of
house. Add window awnings.
• Keep air filter clean. Don't block air flow with
drapes or furniture.
• Ventilate attic (high temperature levels add
to normal cooling load).
Do not use rubbing alcohol or flammable
toxic solvents, such as acetone, gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, etc. These can damage
the material.
Do not use a sharp instrument or any harsh
or abrasive cleaners.
• Try not to use heat producing appliances
during the hottest part of the day. Turn lights,
radios, televisions and other appliances off
when not needed.
• Keep heat registers and cool air returns
closed or blocked off so cooled air won’t
escape.
• Use a vent fan in cooking, laundry or bathing
areas to pull out heat and moisture near its
source.
