Adjust Your Thermostat

One of the easiest ways to keep your apartment cool is by adjusting your thermostat to a comfortable temperature. During the summer, set your thermostat to 75 degrees when you are at home and 80 degrees when you are away. This will help save on your energy bill, while also ensuring your space stays cool.

Use Fans

Fans are one of the easiest and most affordable ways to stay cool during the summer season. From ceiling fans to floor fans, any type can help move air and make you feel cooler. Pro tip: switch on the ceiling fan before you leave for work, and you can return to a comfortable and cool environment at night.

Keep Windows Closed & Covered During the Day

Keeping your windows closed and covered during the day is an effective way to keep your apartment cool during the hot summer North Carolina months. You can invest in room-darkening curtains or blinds that will block out the sun’s powerful rays and keep your apartment cool. Keeping your windows covered during the day will also keep the sun’s heat from entering your apartment and increasing the temperature.

Use Your Oven Less

Believe it or not, your oven can have a powerful impact on the temperature at your luxury apartment in Garner. Try to plan fewer meals using your oven, and if you have to use your oven, try planning it for dinnertime when the temperatures are cooler. You can save all of your baking for night, too.

Stay Hydrated

One of the most important tips for staying cool during the summer months is staying hydrated. Drinking plenty of water will help you regulate your body temperature and prevent dehydration. Keeping a water bottle by your side throughout the day will remind you to drink water.

Use Your Outdoor Living Space

Each of our one, two, and three-bedroom apartments have access to a private balcony or deck, so you can take advantage of your outdoor space early in the morning and late at night when the weather is cooler. In addition, when your deck or patio is shaded during the day, you can take respite in the shade and out of the heat.

Take Advantage of Our Summer Amenities

From taking a dip in our saltwater swimming pool to using the grilling area to prepare meals outdoors and taking a stroll in the neighborhood with your dog, we offer plenty of ways you can cool down this summer. In addition, the more time you spend outdoors, the more refreshed and energized you will feel.
