Keep your NZ home cool with these summer strategies. Encourage strategic airflow by opening windows only when it's cooler outside, then close them and your curtains or blinds during peak heat to block warmth. Use fans to create a cross-breeze or place ice in front of them for extra chill, and limit heat-generating appliances like ovens.
For a long-term solution, double glazing regulates temperature year-round, improves energy efficiency, and can increase your property's value.
