In other parts of the country, September tends to be nice and cool, with crisp fall weather to enjoy. Here in Florida, however, the beginning of fall is often just as hot as the summer months before, and most homeowners are still running their air conditioning all the time. If your AC unit malfunctions, you can call our team at AC Guys Cooling and Heating Services to get the prompt, effective AC repair services you need.
While we will get your system back up and running as soon as possible, we also want to help you stay cool while you wait. Keep reading to learn a few ways to stay cool while you wait for our team to finish our work.
- Close the Blinds – While you wait for our team to complete your AC repair service, we encourage you to close your blinds and curtains. This keeps the interior of your house cooler by preventing the sun from heating it.
- Stay Hydrated – It’s always important to stay hydrated, but it’s especially important to drink plenty of water when your AC is out. While you wait for AC repair services, your body will rely on sweat to keep cool, which effectively pulls heat away from your skin through evaporation. However, you won’t sweat if you don’t stay hydrated, so be sure to keep drinking water.
- Cool Your Pulse Points – One of the most effective ways to stay cool is to apply cold compresses to your pulse points, such as the ones in your wrists and neck. Because the blood vessels are close to the skin in these areas, cooling them off will help cool down your blood, too. You can use damp washcloths for this purpose or wipe the area with wet wipes.
