Phoenix summers are legendary for their scorching temperatures. While air conditioning might seem like the only answer, there’s a smarter way to achieve cool comfort in your home. Here at Homework Remodels, we specialize in Phoenix remodels that utilize clever design and strategic upgrades to keep your home cool naturally, even during the hottest months.
Harnessing the Power of Phoenix’s Nights:
Nighttime Ventilation: Phoenix nights offer a reprieve from the heat. Homework Remodels can help you maximize this natural cooling opportunity. We’ll assess your window placement and recommend installing additional strategically placed windows to create powerful cross-ventilation when you open them on cooler nights.
Starlight, Not Skylights: While skylights can be tempting, Phoenix’s relentless sun can turn them into heat traps. We’ll explore alternative solutions like strategically placed light tubes to bring in natural light without the heat gain.
Outsmarting the Phoenix Sun:
Desert-Ready Overhangs: Our experienced designers will create custom overhangs or recommend awnings specifically sized for your Phoenix home. These strategically placed extensions will block the harsh Arizona sun from overheating your south-facing windows.
Shade Sails, Pergolas, and Strategic Landscaping: Shade sails and pergolas strategically placed over patios or walkways can significantly reduce heat radiating into your home. We can also help plan drought-resistant landscaping with strategically planted trees to cast cooling shadows on your house.
Material Magic for the Phoenix Heat:
Reflect the Heat with Cool Colors: Darker colors absorb heat, making your home hotter. Homework Remodels will advise on using light-colored, heat-reflective materials and paints for your roof and exterior walls, specifically chosen to combat the strong Phoenix sun.
Radiant Barrier for the Attic Blaze: The Phoenix sun turns your attic into a furnace. We will recommend the proper installation of radiant barrier lining, a special reflective material that significantly reduces heat radiating down into your living space.
Upgrading Insulation for Phoenix Summers: Inadequate insulation allows heat transfer from the scorching attic. Upgrading your insulation with the right type and thickness, recommended by Homework Remodels, can significantly improve your home’s thermal performance.
Air Conditioning:
Homework Remodels will make sure your A/C ventilation is placed properly and running through your home for optimal cooling airflow.
Bonus Phoenix Tip: Phoenix kitchens get especially hot. We can incorporate ventilation strategies like installing a powerful exhaust fan over your stove to remove hot air and humidity before it spreads through your home.
By incorporating these strategies into your Phoenix remodel, Homework Remodels can transform your home into a cool oasis, even during the most brutal summers. You’ll enjoy a comfortable living space while saving money on energy bills and creating a more sustainable desert home.
