Methods Of Cooling Homes In Summer Naturally
Should our hope come true and temperatures get dialled up before the season is out, your home might feel the force of it and become overly warm.
Switching on a fan or two will cool the atmosphere, especially if you place them close to windows at night when temperatures drop to circulate cool air around, but it will cost you.
Not all cooling methods are reliant on energy, as First Class is about to bring to your attention.
Accelerate use of window openings
A well-insulated property will preserve lots of warmth, which in summer can see us turn to our windows for ventilation. To generate a powerful cross-breeze on the balmiest of days, leave windows on the opposite sides of a room ajar.
Employ this strategy in the earlier and later stages of the day when the external temperature isn’t as high.
Ventilation will be bolstered when you upgrade to energy-efficient windows and they’ll bring down the room temperature. Fitting blinds or curtains will also protect against profuse heat gain.
Adjust how you cook
Turning the oven on at lunchtime in the middle of a heatwave is going to cause a mass beading of sweat to form on your brow and leave you hot and bothered.
On these occasions, it’s best to prepare a cold lunch instead of sandwiches or a salad.
If oven usage is essential, try and cook in the mornings or evenings. Alternatively, put the air fryer on, which lets out less heat due to being a smaller appliance.
Beckon in airflow with bi-folds
An extraordinarily wide opening can be accomplished with a bi-folding door, and a full opening of it entices a wealth of natural ventilation.
Bi-folds need to be situated in the right spot and a good area to have them fitted is across from a shaded garden or where lots of breeze can travel inwardly.
Artificial cooling won’t be required as frequently if the bi-folds are kept open during the coolest times of the day.
