UK heatwave: Trying to keep your house cool? Here are the biggest mistakes you are already making.
July 19, 2022 - 10:46 BST Rachel Avery As the UK is experiencing unprecedented weather and temperatures are soaring, we're all looking for ways to cool down. Endless ice lollies and multiple fans are must haves, but how do you go about keeping your house cool? Here are the mistakes you're probably making during the heatwave…1. Keeping your lights on Surprisingly, lightbulbs give off more heat than they do light so switching them off will definitely help to keep your room cooler.
4. Not opening internal doors Open up your internal doors to let air circulate throughout your home. It won’t make a huge difference, but every little helps. 6. Producing too much steam Steamy showers and cooking on the hob will add heat to your home. If you can avoid them, it will help. Instead, have a cold shower and keep a lid on your pans to keep the steam in.
