With temperatures rising this week, it’s more important than ever to keep your home cool, ventilated and healthy.
Hot weather can quickly make indoor spaces uncomfortable and affect your sleep, health and air quality, especially if you have respiratory or heart conditions.
🚨 Watch out for signs of overheating or poor air quality:
• Stuffy or stale air
• Headaches, dizziness, or fatigue
• Trouble sleeping
• Damp smells or condensation
• Increased sneezing or coughing indoors
Simple ways to stay safe during the heat:
- Open windows early morning or late evening to let cooler air in
- Use extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms
- Don't block vents or trickle vents.
