How to Cool Your Home During a Heatwave

As temperatures rise during a heatwave, keeping your home cool can become a challenge. Fortunately, with Goldair’s range of innovative cooling solutions, you can beat the heat and stay comfortable. Here are a few simple and effective ways to maintain a cooler home environment when the heat is on.

1. Invest in a Reliable Fan

A portable fan is an essential tool to circulate air and create a cooling breeze. Goldair's powerful pedestal or tower fans can quickly bring down the temperature in any room. Position your fan near a window in the evening to draw in the cooler air, or use multiple fans to create cross-ventilation throughout your home.

2. Use an Air Conditioner Wisely

Air conditioners are your best friend during a heatwave. Whether it’s a portable unit or a fixed system, ensure it is set to a comfortable temperature – ideally between 24-26°C. Avoid running the unit all day; use timers to cool specific rooms when needed, and make sure all doors and windows are shut while it’s on to maximise efficiency.

3. Take Advantage of Cool Mornings and Evenings

During the early mornings and late evenings, temperatures tend to drop. Open windows and doors to let the cooler air flow through your home. Pair this with a fan for maximum circulation, and close everything up again once the day starts heating up.

4. Create Shade

Direct sunlight streaming through windows can quickly heat up your home. Use curtains, blinds, or external shades to block out the sun. Goldair also offers outdoor fans that help keep shaded outdoor areas cool, making it possible to enjoy the fresh air without overheating.

5. Minimise Heat Indoors

Appliances like ovens, stoves, and even lightbulbs can add unnecessary heat. Opt for no-cook meals, such as salads, or use a slow cooker instead. Switch to LED lights, which emit less heat, and avoid using the dryer on particularly hot days.

6. Stay Hydrated and Cool Yourself

No matter how cool your home is, it’s crucial to stay hydrated during a heatwave. Drink plenty of water and consider using cooling towels or misting fans for personal relief.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your home remains a cool sanctuary, no matter how high the temperature climbs outside. Goldair’s wide range of cooling solutions ensures there’s something to suit every home and lifestyle, helping you beat the heatwave in comfort.
