Here are a few reminders during a heat wave:
- Stay hydrated and check in on older family members, neighbours, and anyone who may be more vulnerable to extreme heat.
- Keep blinds and curtains closed during the hottest part of the day to help reduce indoor temperatures.
- Change your HVAC filter regularly and don't block vents—your air conditioning system needs proper airflow to work efficiently.
- Avoid overloading electrical outlets with multiple fans or portable AC units.
- If you don't have air conditioning, use cooling centres or other air-conditioned public spaces if your home becomes too hot.
Extreme heat can put extra stress on your home and your body. A little preparation goes a long way.
