Dubai, known for its abundant sunshine, experiences 8-10 hours of daily sunlight throughout the year. While this offers fantastic opportunities for outdoor activities, the summer months, from May to August, bring soaring temperatures exceeding 45⁰C. To stay comfortable during the summer heat, it’s essential to prepare both yourself and your home. While staying hydrated and using sunblock is crucial for outdoor activities, ensuring your home is ready to face the scorching heat is equally important.
Here’s a checklist of things you can do to transform your home into a comfortable oasis during Dubai’s summer:
1. Air Conditioning Maintenance with SUL Technical ServicesIn Dubai, nearly every home features Air Conditioning units or centralized systems, and during summer, they work overtime. To prevent potential malfunctions or breakdowns, it’s essential to proactively schedule air conditioning maintenance with SUL Technical Services. This will involve cleaning filters and replacing worn-out components to ensure a continuous supply of fresh, cool air. Keeping doors and windows closed will maximize your AC’s efficiency.
2. Pest ControlAs the temperature rises, insects become more active. Pesky flies, ants, and other critters can invade your home, especially in the kitchen, where food spoilage is more likely. To prevent infestations, schedule routine pest control services in Dubai. Professionals can help with regular checks and extermination, ensuring your home remains pest-free during the summer months. You can also opt for non-toxic and chemical-free products to deter bugs and practice proper hygiene.
3. Interior Design AdjustmentsCertain materials and fabrics may not be suitable for the summer in Dubai, causing discomfort due to skin irritation and excessive sweating. Consider swapping heavy materials for lightweight fabrics such as cotton or linen for your sheets, pillow covers, and carpets. Additionally, opt for lighter, neutral colors to create a cooler ambiance. Use heavy, opaque curtains during the day to block direct sunlight and heat.
4. Indoor PlantsEnhance your home’s indoor oasis with indoor plants. These not only add a touch of green and freshness but also purify the air by absorbing harmful toxins. Indoor plants help offset the dryness caused by air conditioning and improve air quality. They can boost mood, mental focus, and energy while reducing indoor air pollution. Indoor plants create a refreshing and eco-friendly atmosphere for battling summer fatigue.
5. Energy-Efficient LightingTraditional incandescent and halogen light bulbs emit heat while producing light. This contributes to increased indoor temperatures, making your home less comfortable in the summer. Switch to energy-efficient CFL bulbs, which produce less heat and consume less energy, keeping your home cooler and reducing your electricity bills. Although CFL bulbs may have a slightly higher upfront cost, they last longer and are a more energy-efficient choice in the long run.
