Home cooling tips
1. Use insulation
Instead of abusing the air conditioner, you can refer to the insulation measures for walls, roof and glass doors below, the price is not expensive, but you will not worry about the electricity bill at the end of the month.
– Insulation paint / heat resistant paint: Used for walls, corrugated iron roofs or terrace floors. There are types that are advertised as helping to reduce up to 12 – 20 degrees Celsius for corrugated iron roofs if the outside temperature reaches 60 degrees Celsius. There are many insulation paint options on the market, besides KOVA CN-05 for 579,000. dd/5kg, there’s also Insumax for 2,700,000 VND/17L, Intek for 800,000 VND/5L…
– Insulating double-layer glass: The structure of 2-layer glass helps to limit heat transfer and sound transmission from the outside to the inside. Note, with glass windows larger than 1.8m2, need to add 1 or 2 layers of laminated glass, tempered glass to ensure durability during use.
– Insulation film: Made from layers of insulation materials such as metal coating, ceramic enamel or nano… to limit heat transfer, block harmful UV rays from outside into the house, and at the same time can reduce intensity sunlight if using colored coatings.
2. Planting bonsai to cool the house
In hot summer days, don’t forget to put more potted plants or vines outside the window/balcony. This simple measure will help reduce the temperature in the house extremely effectively. Suggest you can refer to some common air-freshening plants, including basil, lemongrass, rosemary, mint, …
3. Always pull the curtains
In addition to choosing the right type of double-layer curtains and good insulation, do not forget to close the curtains regularly, especially during the hours of strong sunlight such as noon and noon. Also, choose dark curtains to avoid heat radiation to the room.
4. Replace incandescent lamps with compact or LED lamps
While incandescent bulbs give off a huge amount of heat, compact or LED lights give off very little heat. At the same time, they are also much more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs.
Tips to save electricity
1. Use solar panels
Many people are probably no stranger to this smart power-saving measure. Each solar panel has an average lifespan of about 25 years, meeting the needs of long-term electricity use for families. If you share the same panel with the battery, you won’t have to worry about sudden power outages at home – a familiar “specialty” in the summer in Vietnam.
Some small notes when installing and using solar power:
Make sure the roof/terrace is not exposed to too much sunlight.
Choose a reputable contractor.
Clean solar panels regularly to optimize light collection performance.
Replace the inverter every 5-7 years to ensure maximum performance.
Make sure the electric meter is bidirectional to avoid being “swallowed” by electricity.
