British summers can swing from glorious to sweltering in a heartbeat! When the sun finally shows up, your lovely home can quickly turn into a stuffy, sticky sauna. The good news? Staying cool in summer is easier than you think, and with the right kit you can keep your space fresh, comfortable, and kind to your health. Let's dive in!
Beating the Heat
When temperatures climb, small changes make a big difference. Close your curtains during the hottest part of the day, open windows in the cooler evening hours, and keep hydrated. Simple, but it works!
For instant relief, a good fan is your best friend. A tower fan is slim, stylish, and slots neatly into any room without hogging floor space. The Devola Platinum 38 Inch Tower Fan with Remote is a brilliant choice, with six speeds, and a handy remote so you can adjust the breeze without leaving the sofa.
If you want serious cooling power, a portable air conditioner is the way to go. The Devola 9000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner cools quickly, comes with Wi-Fi control, and rolls easily from bedroom to living room. No installation, no fuss, just lovely cool air whenever you need it!
Reduce Humidity in Your Home
Ever notice how a warm day feels so much worse when it's muggy? That's humidity at work. When the air is full of moisture, sweat can't evaporate properly, so you feel hotter and stickier than the thermometer suggests. Excess moisture also encourages mould and dust mites, which is bad news for your home and your health.
The simplest way to reduce humidity in your home is a quality dehumidifier. Browse the full dehumidifiers range to find your perfect match. The Devola 12L Platinum Dehumidifier & Air Purifier with HEPA Filter is a fantastic all-rounder for bedrooms and living spaces, pulling moisture from the air while filtering it too.
Need a little more muscle? The Devola 20L Hybrid Dehumidifier & Air Purifier tackles larger homes with ease, helping your space feel fresher and far more comfortable. Less moisture means cooler air, better sleep, and a healthier home all round!
Air Purifiers for Allergies
Summer is wonderful, but it can be misery for allergy sufferers. Pollen drifts in through open windows, dust mites thrive in warm conditions, and lingering damp can spark mould spores. If you find yourself sneezing your way through the season, you're not alone!
This is where air purifiers for allergies really shine. Units with a built-in HEPA filter trap tiny particles like pollen, pet dander, and dust, leaving you with cleaner, fresher air to breathe. Even better, many machines do double duty, removing both moisture and allergens in one go.
The Devola 20L Compressor Dehumidifier & Air Purifier With HEPA Filter & Wi-Fi is a customer favourite, with hundreds of glowing reviews and a HEPA filter that captures airborne nasties beautifully. For bigger spaces or busy family homes, the Devola 25L Dehumidifier & Air Purifier combines powerful moisture removal with air-cleaning HEPA filtration. Two jobs, one tidy appliance, less clutter, and a smarter choice for your home! Explore the full dehumidifier and purifier collection to compare more options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to stay cool at home in summer?
Start with the basics: close curtains during the day, ventilate at night, and stay hydrated. For reliable relief, pair a tower fan with a portable air conditioner. Fans are perfect for gentle, everyday cooling, while a portable AC unit delivers powerful cooling on the hottest days.
Can a dehumidifier help with allergies?
Absolutely! By reducing humidity, a dehumidifier discourages mould and dust mites, two common allergy triggers. Choose a model with a built-in HEPA filter and you'll also capture pollen and fine dust, making a real difference to the air you breathe.
Do I need a separate air purifier, or can a dehumidifier do both?
Many modern dehumidifiers, like the Devola HEPA models, include air-purifying filters. That means one appliance can reduce humidity and clean your air, saving you space, money, and effort. A lovely two-in-one solution!
Are tower fans or portable air conditioners better for summer?
It depends on your needs! Tower fans are energy-efficient, quiet, and ideal for everyday breezes. Portable air conditioners genuinely lower the temperature, making them perfect for heatwaves or rooms that get unbearably warm. Many homeowners happily use both.
