Prepare Your Home for Extreme Heat

Judicious #home improvements can help cope with extreme heat, Kiplinger says. Protect your roof by installing attic ventilation and adding or replacing insulation, which can also reduce the burden on your HVAC system and reduce energy costs. Shade trees, awnings and window films can dramatically reduce indoor temperatures by blocking direct sunlight. And if you really want to guarantee comfort, prepare for the worst by investing in a standby generator or installing solar panels and a battery backup to power essential equipment during an emergency. #Heatproof #ExtremeHeat
