When summer really kicks in, the kitchen can quickly become the hottest room in the house. Between boiling, frying and roasting, cooking adds heat and humidity fast - and if you’re relying on air conditioning or fans to cool things down, your power bill can rise just as quickly.
The good news is that staying cool doesn’t mean using more energy. With the right ventilation solutions and smart cooking habits in place, you can enjoy a more comfortable kitchen all summer long - without the bill shock.
Remove Heat at the Source - Quietly and Efficiently
Every time you cook, heat, steam, grease and odours are released into the air. Opening windows might seem like an easy fix, but it often lets hot air in and pushes cool air out - making your air conditioner work harder.
Schweigen Silent Rangehoods are designed to remove cooking heat and steam efficiently before it spreads through your home. Their Isodrive® motor systems with Schweigen SteelFlex™ fireproof ducting deliver powerful extraction while staying whisper quiet - so you can cook, chat and enjoy your space without noise or discomfort. The result is a kitchen that feels fresher, cleaner and more enjoyable to cook in.
Keep the Hot Air Out
Opening doors and windows can break your home’s thermal envelope (the shell or skin of your home that separates the cooled indoor air from the summer heat). Whilst ducting to the outdoors is mandatory for modern builds and major home renovations, it can force airconditioning systems to work harder, increasing energy consumption.
Schweigen EnviroShield™ helps keep your kitchen cool without opening your home to outside heat.
When your rangehood or exhaust fan is switched off, the award-winning smart shutter system along your ducting automatically seals shut magnetically - preventing hot outside air from entering. This supports a comfortable indoor temperature while helping reduce unnecessary energy loss.
Smart Tips for a Cooler Kitchen
Along with good ventilation, a few small changes can make a big difference:
- Use low-heat or quick-cook appliances such as induction cooktops, slow cookers or air fryers.
- Cook during cooler times of the day, such as early morning or evening.
- Take heat-heavy cooking outdoors when possible, especially on hot days.
