Summer has its own unique expenses. Cooling bills rise, the yard needs more attention and a stretch of hot days can send you looking for quick fixes.
For retirees trying to stay ahead of those costs, a few smart buys from Lowe’s could make summer easier and more comfortable.
Utilitech Indoor Oscillating Tower Fan
- Price: $54.98
If one room in the house always feels warmer than the others, running the air nonstop can get expensive. This 36-in tower fan from Lowe’s can help cool the space you are actually using, whether that is the bedroom at night or the living room during the day. It also comes with a remote and has a slim design that fits easily into smaller spaces.
Honeywell Home Smart Thermostat
- Price: $99.99
Few summer expenses are more frustrating than a high electric bill. This smart thermostat from Lowe’s lets you set schedules and adjust the temperature when you are away through Wi-Fi compatibility, which may help reduce wasted energy. You can also control it from your phone, making it easy to come home to a cooler house.
Zero-G Teknor Apex Lightweight Hose
- Price: $44.98
A heavy hose spread across the yard makes any yard feel messy. This 50-foot lightweight hose from Lowe’s is designed to resist kinks, which can make watering plants or rinsing off the patio less frustrating. It may also be easier to carry and store aside than bulkier traditional hoses.
Best Home Fashion Black Blackout Curtain Panel Pair
- Price: $33.98
Too much sun can make any room uncomfortable. These 84-inch blackout curtains from Lowe’s can help block light and keep some heat out, which may take pressure off the air conditioner. They also add privacy and at this price, they could be one of the easier seasonal upgrades on this list.
Editor’s note: Pricing and availability may vary depending on location.
