      I’ve noticed that my home tends to get really hot in the afternoons, even with fans running, and I’m worried about both energy efficiency and keeping insects out. Are there effective ways to improve airflow while also preventing bugs from entering without major renovations?

      Absolutely, you can address both airflow and insect protection without a full remodel. Installing proper window screens is one of the simplest solutions, as they allow fresh air in while keeping pests out. It’s also worth checking that existing vents and air passages are unobstructed and using cross-ventilation by opening windows on opposite sides of the house. For professional advice on protective and functional window installations, you might explore options like Window Screens in Bullhead City, A – Electricians in Perth, ON , which offers guidance on durable and well-fitted solutions. Pairing screens with ceiling or portable fans can significantly improve comfort, and using light-colored window treatments can reduce heat buildup.

      Regularly inspecting your home’s airflow and sealing gaps around doors and windows can prevent energy loss and improve indoor air quality, keeping living spaces comfortable year-round.
