Another helpful tip, although it may take awhile to rap the benefits, is to plant some shade trees around your home because shade will also keep your home cool.
That's very true, although it does take alot of time to reap the benefits. For awhile we lived in the desert, where our AC basically was hit by the sun nearly all day. You can imagine how hard it had to labour.
