Since every little bit helps... Here are a couple of items you might want to consider.
~ A programmable thermostat will allow you to preset the temerature in your home for different times of the day.
~ Reflect more sun and trim energy losses by losing your old single-pane windows and installing double pane energy efficient models.
~ Roof shingles... The day will come when your roof needs to be replaced. Find a light colored shingle you like to help reflect some of that same heat.
~ Shade is good. Planting trees and installing awnings outside your home will help create a shadier and therefore cooler home.
