Summer Cooling Tips for Your One 51 Place Apartment

Florida summers are no joke, but keeping your apartment cool doesn′t have to mean skyrocketing energy bills. With a few smart strategies, you can stay comfortable all season long in your One 51 Place home.

Use Your Blinds and Curtains Wisely

Sunlight streaming through your windows can quickly heat up your apartment. Close blinds or curtains during the hottest parts of the day, especially on windows facing east and west. Light-colored or blackout curtains can help block heat while keeping rooms bright and airy.

Maximize Airflow

Ceiling fans are your best friend in summer. Set them to spin counterclockwise to create a cooling breeze that circulates the air. For extra comfort, place a small box fan near a window in the evening to draw in cooler outdoor air.

Cook Smart

Using the oven or stove can raise indoor temperatures quickly. Opt for no-cook meals, slow cookers, or air fryers instead. Summer is the perfect time for fresh salads, wraps, and chilled desserts.

Keep Doors and Vents Clear

Make sure air vents aren′t blocked by furniture or rugs so your air conditioning can work efficiently. Keep interior doors open to allow for even airflow throughout your apartment.

Stay Hydrated and Dress for the Heat

Drinking cold water and wearing lightweight, breathable fabrics can help your body stay cool. Keep a chilled water bottle handy, and you′ll feel more comfortable even if the thermostat is set a bit higher.
