Heat Blockers make changes to your building that stop heat from getting inside. Air Movers work inside your home to remove unwanted hot air or make you feel more comfortable. The information in this booklet can help you decide which methods will work best in your home. Some methods require structures or equipment that should be installed by skilled contractors. Other methods are easy to do yourself.
Energy saving estimates for a typical single family home appear with each method.
They may not accurately reflect your situation, so you should use them only as a general guide. These estimates are based on each method used by itself. You cannot accurately add the savings from two or more methods. To get more details and find out how to get started contact your Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. They can provide more information and help you choose the best ways to stay cool.
