Keeping cool in the hotter weather

-

THE July heatwave has prompted many people to focus on improving indoor air ventilatio­n, whether on board or at home.

Bringing fresh air in helps replace older stale air that could contain virus particles, reducing the chances of spreading Covid-19. Using a good quality fan to consistent­ly circulate the fresh air around, ensuring the air in the room keeps moving.

Getting a good night’s sleep is a priority and very quiet fans will become an essential item. Select one which has a Quiet Award in recognitio­n of low noise levels, and an off timer so the fans will turn off after a period so that you don’t wake up cold in the middle of the night or waste electricit­y.

Meaco has developed a family of five awardwinni­ng quiet fans. By using DC technology this results in low noise levels, low running costs and a longer product lifespan, making them a popular choice..

One tip to get to the most out of your fan, is to open two windows and place a Meaco fan so that it is blowing the air out of one of the windows. This sucks the hot air out of the room, while cooler fresh air comes in from the other window resulting in a significan­t drop in temperatur­e in a very short time.
