Dyson Cool Tower Fan: this fan has a powerful
airflow, uses less energy than others and is
quiet tooKeep curtains and windows closed during the day
Though it may be tempting to open the windows when it’s warm outside, this can actually let in hot air
rather than cool, warming your home.
Lucy Askew, of blinds and shutter specialist Hillarys, says: “The general rule of thumb is if the temperature
outside is greater than it is inside, you should keep the windows shut, as you are just letting hot air in
otherwise.”
If you have to keep windows open during the day, make sure you do so in a way that encourages a through
draught, says a spokesperson for OVO Energy.
“This means opening windows at opposite sides of the house and keeping doors open so the air can move
through freely. But keep curtains and blinds closed to deflect any direct sunlight.”
