Dunk Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Has anyone got any good tips or ways of controlling the temperature in a home studio? I have a plug in heater for the winter but nothing to reduce heat in the summer. It’s not so much my comfort but to stop the necks needing constant truss adjustments from temperature changes. I’m not there during the day as I work and can’t just leave a window open and this time of year it can get ‘oven’ hot. Has anybody else had this issue and solved it?

Maude Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) I'm guessing it's an outside studio, as in garden room or garage or something? Could you fit a small vent like a bathroom extractor, but fit a low power fan run off a solar panel in it? It wouldn't cool it as such, but would pull the hot air out. The bonus being that it would self regulate, the sunnier it is, the faster the fan runs. Edited July 5, 2021 by Maude 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Definitely a single room air conditioner. Control the temperature from the off rather than fighting to cool off later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterMute Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Yup, single room AC, keeps the fresh air circulating when it's not cooling too... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass_dinger Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Perhaps install a set of heavy curtains, and keep them closed during the day, to keep out the light (and thus, the heat). It works for my bedroom during the hot summer months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunderwonder Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Whitewash the south elevation. Shade the windows. Insulate the ceiling. Save on cooling effort by not letting it heat up in the first place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save on cooling effort by not letting it heat up in the first place. Unfortunately most music rooms also have amps and computers in them, not to mention people, if you don't have active airflow, they get hot and stuffy all by themselves. Even on cold days, my sound proof studio gets uncomfortable after an hour or two, I run the AC on circulate pretty much al the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
