Most kitchens and bathrooms have extractor fans.

British Gas says to use extractor fans for ventilation and cooler air. They help get rid of smells and steam, and can be used in hot weather too.

The expert says to open doors and leave extractor fans on to create airflow and remove warm air.

British Gas says to do this after cooking or showering, which makes it hot and humid.

Open windows and vents so cooler air can come in and replace the warm air from the extractor fan.

Remember to close internal doors when you turn the fan off so warm air doesn't come back in.

The experts also say to close unused rooms during the day and open doors and windows at night.

Don't open windows when it's hottest outside.

British Gas says keeping windows shut during the hottest part of the day keeps rooms cool.

Only open windows early or late in the day. Open doors and windows at night to cool your bedroom.

It's cooler outside later, so open windows then to let hot air out. It works better if you open windows on opposite sides of your home.
