Extreme Heat Hitting the East Coast
Extreme Heat, Rising Rates: Why Smart Home Cooling Has Never Been More Urgent
A major heatwave is sweeping across the East Coast this week, bringing dangerous temperatures and straining home cooling systems. As climate change drives more extreme weather, events like this are becoming more frequent, more intense, and more expensive to endure.
Electricity Rates Are Rising—Right as Demand Spikes
In New York, utilities like National Grid and Central Hudson have already locked in rate increases that will push monthly bills higher over the next several years. In New Jersey, regulators have warned that bills could rise by more than $20 per month for some households. These cost hikes come as the demand for electricity surges during extreme heat, putting added stress on the grid—and on your wallet.
Cool Down Offers a Smarter, Low-Cost Alternative
Cool Down is a thermal transfer system that uses the naturally cool temperatures in your basement to reduce heat in your home. It works by moving thermal energy from the upstairs living space into the basement, where temperatures stay around 50°F year-round. This approach reduces the need for energy-intensive cooling and can operate:
As a standalone cooling solution, ideal for homes without central AC
As a high-efficiency add-on to reduce the energy load of existing AC or heat pump systems
In field installations, Cool Down has:
Reduced room temperatures by up to 10°F
Cut AC energy use by as much as 67% per season
Installed in just a few hours, with no exterior footprint or ductwork changes
