Here in Cumming, Georgia, summer temperatures can soar to nearly 100 degrees. The winter temperatures can dip into the teens.
Summer: Use your blinds or window coverings to block the heat from the sun from entering your home. Angle your blinds upward so the sunlight doesn't creep through the cracks.
Winter: Your windows can attract the cold temperatures from the outside. Only open your blinds or window coverings if the sunlight is shining directly through the window. My backyard gets a lot of sunlight in the afternoon. We use the heat from the sun to help warm our home during a few hours in the afternoon and evening.
