As their name suggests, air purifiers are used to clean the rooms of the house, which can be worth it during the pollen period or in the event of high temperatures. Some of them even have a ventilation function. Follow the leader.
Just like the endless pollen season, high temperatures can make you decide to buy an air purifier. Some models have a ventilation function, which is very practical for cooling down in the event of a heat wave. If all purifiers are intended to reject healthy air, the air flow must be directed towards the front and not towards the ceiling so that the user can benefit from this refreshing function. And more and more manufacturers are offering this type of 2-in-1 device. Here are the best purifiers with ventilation mode currently available on the market.

If the use of an air purifier, a fan or an air conditioner can lower the temperature in an apartment or house and make the environment more “liveable” in the event of a heat wave, you can also act in a less energy-consuming way. Here are some actions to prepare you for the next furnaces.
- Close the shutters and windows of your home. It is imperative not to let the heat enter your living rooms. Be sure to close the windows to let the hot air out, and especially the shutters or curtains to limit the penetration of the sun’s rays into your interior. Conversely, if the outside temperature allows it, bring in the freshness at the very beginning of the day.
- Lay out damp laundry. As the water evaporates, it absorbs thermal energy and lowers the surrounding temperature. You can put this principle of thermodynamics into practice at home by hanging out your damp laundry in different rooms of your home. Remember to ventilate well before the temperature drops because, thermodynamics requires, by condensing the water also releases thermal energy and warms the atmosphere.
- Mist. On this same principle of evaporation, you can use misters to both cool the atmosphere (in addition to a fan) and your skin.
- Drink! This is of course the most important: you must stay hydrated at all times. This makes you sweat and your body temperature drops.
