Heatwave season is a time when you really should be considering your health and safety – are you wearing high enough SPF? Are you drinking enough fluids? Is the air conditioning working in your car? But did you know that safety protocols should also be followed for your household appliances in such extreme weather, too?
Many of us will be familiar with the warning appliances can give us, indicating that they are beginning to overheat, but the struggles faced by appliances in the summer don’t just stop there. There are plenty of reasons why household appliances could benefit from being unplugged in the event of a heatwave, both to improve your home EPC rating, the safety of your home, and the appliances' longevity.
