I forgot to comment on heat prevention. Don't use things that
generate heat. Light bulbs, computers, TVs, vacuum cleaners (yay!),
radios. I haven't figured out how to keep the refrigerator's
heat out of the house other than to not open the door.

IOW, just stop living until the weather cools off. Sorry, not an option!


That's an extreme position. I live just fine :-). But you can
make living style decisions that will reduce costs. Doing the
hot cooking outdoors may be one. Not turning on lights from habit
is another. Turning off lights is another. Two 60W light bulbs
seem to raise the temp in my living room a couple of degrees.
My Dad keeps complaining about how hot it is but still turns on
two halogen lights at night. Those things could almost heat the
house.
