Prepare Your Tenerife Home for Summer

Essential Tips for Keeping Your House Cool During the Warmest Months.

It's time to get ready for the upcoming months, and it's crucial to know how to keep your home cool and comfortable during the summer. Here, we provide you with a series of practical tips for fighting the heat in your Tenerife home.

Solar Protection during Peak Hours 
When the sun is at its highest, it's essential to protect your home. Close the windows, lower the blinds, and use awnings or outdoor curtains to prevent heat from entering your property. 
Ventilation at the Right Times 
Take advantage of the cooler hours of the day, such as dawn and dusk, to ventilate your home. If your house has opposite facades, use cross ventilation to improve air circulation. 
Plants, Your Allies Against the Heat 
Fill your Tenerife home with plants, both indoors and outdoors. Plants absorb heat, block sunlight, and increase the feeling of humidity in the environment. 
Moderation in Appliance Use 
Appliances generate heat and consume energy. Unplug them when you're not using them. 
Ceiling Fans, an Efficient Option
 Install ceiling fans to enjoy a pleasant breeze without spending much electricity. These devices are especially useful for sleeping comfortably during hot nights. 
Humidify the Environment 
To maintain a cool atmosphere, use humidifiers or slightly dampen curtains. In this way, the air entering from outside will automatically cool down, preventing the suffocating feeling of dry heat. 
Light Textiles for a Pleasurable Rest 
During the night, heat can make sleep difficult. Swap your sheets for lightweight fabrics like cotton or linen, preferably in light colours, to improve the feeling of freshness in bed. 
LED Lighting for Lower Consumption and Less Heat
 If you haven't already switched to LED bulbs, now is the time to do so. In addition to being more durable and consuming less energy, they don't emit heat like traditional bulbs.

By following these tips, you'll be able to enjoy a cool and comfortable home in Tenerife during the summer. Don't forget to stay well-hydrated, eat lightly, and avoid exercising during the hottest hours of the day. And, of course, there's nothing better than taking a dip in the pool or the sea to cool off.
