Air Conditioning
Whole House Fans
Whole house fans work by pulling cool outdoor air into your house. They also push warm indoor air out of your house. They can replace the need for an air conditioner in milder climates. They can be used in conjunction with air conditioners in hotter climates. The use of whole house fans will cut your energy bill. Another benefit is that they cool very rapidly by taking in large amounts of air.

DIY Air Conditioning Ductwork
Your heating and air conditioning ductwork (also known as HVAC, which stands for "heating, ventilation, and air conditioning") is a very important part of your home.

If the ductwork is not in good shape, your heating and cooling bills will be higher. Fortunately, it is usually within the capabilities of an average do-it-yourselfer to take care of his or her own ductwork.
Evaporative Air Conditioner Maintenance
If you happen to live in a hot, dry part of the world, an evaporative air conditioner could be just the ticket for inexpensive cooling of your home. Also known as a "swamp cooler," an evaporative air conditioner works by blowing air over a wet absorbent pad. The pad is kept wet by means of a water pump. The wet air is up to 20 degrees cooler than other air in the room.
