Finding it hard to stay cool in the heat? Here are our top tips, and contact us to find out more:

​

1. Cooling your neck and feet helps to cool down your whole body. Use a shallow bowl with water for your feet - just a couple of centimetres of water will do the trick

​

2. Don't let the heat in! Make sure curtains and binds are closed during the day, opening windows early and late to allow the cool air to cool down your home

​

3. Cross-ventilate - open windows at the front and rear of your home and make sure internal doors are open so a through-draft can pull cool air through your home. Do this early and late in the day when the air is coolest

​

4. Fans vs Air Conditioning - Fans use an average of 50w whereas Air Con uses an average of 2000w! Only use Air Con as a last resort as you could run many fans for the same cost! Evaporation coolers - fans that deliver a water mist spray - are a good option to try as they average 60w but can offer greater cooling compared to a standard fan, though they need filling with water and add to humidity
