Editing MoneyMagpie and Fiki Barry's financial expert participates in advice to keep calm in the summer heat without breaking the bank
Summer is on its way, however, the annual induction of heat waves comes in Britain.
The good news is that there are things that you can do to make sure that you cool at a cheap or free price when running the heat, as long as you are behaving now to plan for more days of the coming year.
Buy fans now
There is nothing worse than realizing that the expatriate fans who are years old may finally abandon the ghost, when it is 30 degrees Celsius outside. Not only because it is broken when you need it, but buying an alternative will be expensive.
Stores and retail dealers are famous for increasing prices for anything in seasonal demand. Check your cooling equipment now.
If you have a fan or two, or even an air conditioning unit, make sure that it is in full work and remains effective. For those who remember struggling last year with one fan between the entire family, it is time to buy a new one (or two). Fans are one of the most cost -effective ways to stay cold, and cost about 2 to 8 pennies per hour.
To be more economical, look for fans who have timing devices and ECO settings that mean that they only work when it strikes the temperature over a certain temperature. This makes it perfect for sleeping at night as well.
The tower fans tend to be better to disperse cold air across the room, while the statue's base fans are more direct and ideal to sit on an office or on your chest. Some, such as a quiet Levuet base fan, have a position with both vertical and horizontal movement, for wide and fast cooling like the tower fan as well.
Close windows and curtains
When the sun is bright, we want to let the light! But in reality, this can heat your home in several degrees. Keep your home calm by opening the windows only at night, with gaps in the curtains drawn to allow air to circulate. When the morning comes, make the priority of closing windows and curtains to maintain sunlight and warm air.
To cool a suffocating house quickly, as the temperature outside begins to decrease in the evening, open the windows on the top floor on one side of your home and the ground floor on the other side. This creates natural ventilation with warm air, and withdrawing cold air across the house.
Use a hand fan
Whether you are stuck on the tube or in a suffocating office, find ways to control your personal temperature when you do not control your environment is important.
You can start entering the habit of taking a bottle of heat water with you when it comes out – even better if you drop some ice cubes. Keeping your body moisture in heat management will help.
The portable fan is another tool that should be with you at all times. You can go to the old school with a hand fan entering any bag-ideal if you don't want to worry about running out of batteries. You should also look for a small travel fan to keep you cold. One of them can be with a clip useful for cutting on children's cars, offices and other surfaces, while there are others that can be displayed in a bag and used in the garden, or on an office, or almost anywhere such as the Morphy Richards.
Reducing heat in one room
If the heat rises when you are at home, try to plan for the future for this day. Choose your favorite room and make it a great central. As in winter, when heating one room is cheaper than the entire house, the same thing applies to cooling.
You may choose to invest in a portable air conditioning unit to reduce the air temperature in the room. It is not cheap, but it can be effective for operating and it is an investment that is worth if you spend hours at home more than far away from it.
Instead, make sure that your curtains and windows remain closed, prepare a fan, and keep air circulation. Some people find it better to keep the door open with a fan in the hallway as well as in the room to create a ventilation system, but you have to try the best setting up for your home.
Use the cooling mat
You may have seen the petitions for pets, but they are also useful for humans! There are two types: those that you put in the freezer and self -taste that stimulates pressure. This freezer is very cooler, but take the energy to freeze and get very humid. This self -armed armedness does not get moisture and can reduce your temperature to a degree or degree.
Do not forget your pets
While we talk about pets, make sure they remain cold too! Keep animals inside where possible, and remember that if the atmosphere is very hot for you to be barefoot, this is very hot for them, so do not walk on dogs in peak sunlight hours.
You can invest in ice vessels, which contain a liquid inside freezing to keep your pet water all day. You can also fill a bowl with water, pet treatments, and even their favorite game to freeze it and provide them with licking a day to stay cold.
If you give a pet from the frozen elements, be sure to give it a few minutes of freezer to avoid giving them freezing the brain or burning the tongue.
Without your feet
Keeping your feet in water while relaxing at home is one of the most things you can do in the heat wave. Even better if you can stand out some ice cubes in the water, too!
If you are at work and you are not able to relax with your feet in a pond or rowing bowl, be sure to run your hands and wrist regularly under cold water to reduce your temperature. You can also use a wet bandanna around your neck to keep yourself cold.
Hiding in the cinema
Cinema is one of the few places that you can guarantee will be air -conditioned during the summer and thanks to all kinds of cinema ticket deals available throughout the week, it is a cheap way to stay enjoying when heat rises!
Look for other activities that can also keep heat, such as swimming, finding a place in the air conditioner cafe, or wandering in your free local museum (air conditioner).
