On a hot, sweltering day, you can stay cool with the gentle, cool ocean breeze while lying on your very own Puerto Vallarta beachfront terrace. You could also turn up the air conditioner, shut your doors and windows and enjoy the views from indoors. The hottest months in Puerto Vallarta are between July and October, which mean hot and humid afternoons. Turning up your air conditioner may not be the most affordable way to stay cool, so we decided to provide you with other ways to keep your electric bill low in Puerto Vallarta.<\/p>\n

Circulate the Air<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"circulate-the-air\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just circulating the air at even one mph can lower the temperature in your residence and help you spend less on your air-conditioning. One way to circulate the air is by using the ceiling fans.Circulating the air with fans will allow you to raise the air conditioner\u2019s thermostat while remaining cool.<\/p>\n

Blinds, Drapes, and Shades<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Keeping the heat from entering your home will keep your home cooler. You can do that by installing and using blinds, drapes, and shades to reduce the amount of sunlight that penetrates your home during the hottest periods of the day. Choose light colors to reflect the sun\u2019s rays.<\/p>\n

Reduce Internal Heat <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The stove and oven are the biggest internal heat in any home. To reduce internal heat you can grill and cook outside, and if you decide to cook indoors, then you should use your exhaust fan. If you have any incandescent bulbs in your home, then replace them with fluorescents, because fluorescents lights reduce internal heat. Just doing these two things will reduce 1\/5th of energy usage.<\/p>\n

Add Trees and Shrubs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You will be amazed at how adding trees and shrubs strategically around your home will cool your home up to six degrees. You want to make sure that on the south and west ends of your home has no cement or rock, because this actually raises the heat into the home.<\/p>\n

Dress Comfortably<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"dress-comfortably\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Dress comfortably to the conditions of the weather. You want to make sure that you don\u2019t wear any type of clothing that is made with any synthetic materials. Light colored clothes are perfect, and especially cotton clothing, because it lets air flow. Before you put your clothes on, then sprinkle your body with a touch of talcum powder. The talcum powder will keep you cooler, and allow you to sweat less. It feels great on a hot, steamy day.<\/p>\n

Visit Cool Locations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Choose the hottest time of the day to visit cool locations such as the theater, mall, or any air conditioned area, that way you save using your own air conditioning during the peak times.<\/p>\n

Servicing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"servicing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes, you simply have no choice but to use your air conditioner, but before you turn it on, make sure that you have had servicing done to it prior. You should have the filters replaced, and the air conditioner should be full of Freon. The windows and doors should be sealed, so you don\u2019t lose any of your cool air.<\/p>\n

During the hot summer months in Puerto Vallarta stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Before you know it October will arrive, and you will be enjoying the perfect weather while your friends and family are dealing with cold, freezing snow, rain, and ice.<\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
