Summer is in full flow, so keeping cool is a priority.

Start by setting your thermostat or AC to a steady, moderate temperature; constantly cranking the cooling can spike energy bills. In very warm weather, portable AC units and fans are lifesavers for bedrooms and home offices. We recommend bladeless fans for their smooth airflow and safety, without the noise and safety concerns of traditional fans. These fans also often integrate with smart home systems, so you can adjust them with a tap or voice command.

• Hydration and breaks: Drink plenty of water and avoid strenuous outdoor work during midday heat. If you host a barbecue or garden party, provide plenty of cool drinks and shaded seating. Speaking of barbecues, remember that our Gas BBQs make outdoor cooking easier on hot days. A modern gas grill is your go-to companion for outdoor entertaining, heating up instantly at the push of a button.

• Cool zones: Create a cool spot in the home: close blinds in unused rooms, and use fans to direct cool air into living spaces. If you have high humidity, a dehumidifier can make the air feel cooler by removing excess moisture.

• Chilled evening routines: In the evening, cool down by unplugging heat-generating appliances and taking a cool shower. If needed, run an AC unit before bedtime or use a fan in the bedroom to ensure a good night’s sleep.

Using a combination of air conditioning and bladeless cooling fans, you can enjoy July’s long sunny days and warm evenings without overheating
