What are a few ways that I can keep my house cool when it is hot in the summer?

Here are a few thoughts on how you could keep your house cool when it is hot in the summer. First, you could draw all of your blinds and shades and keep the house as dark as possible. Second, you could open the windows to let in a cool breeze if one is available. You could also turn on a fan to circulate the air. If these or a combination of these ideas are not working, then you could turn on the air conditioning.
