Heading Out? Power Off – Cadent

Published on: August 14, 2026

Work with the sun, not against it.

Close curtains or blinds on windows in direct sunshine to help stop heat building up indoors.

You don’t need to keep every curtain closed all day. Instead, follow the sun. Once the sun has moved on, open them again to enjoy the daylight.

It’s a simple habit that can help keep your home more comfortable during warmer weather.
