There’s nothing worse than losing your air conditioning during a hot summer day. Whether it’s a power outage or a malfunctioning unit, the heat can become unbearable quickly. At Tri-State Heating and Air, we’ve compiled a list of practical tips to help you stay cool until your AC is back up and running.
Keep the sun’s rays from heating your home by closing blinds and curtains, especially on windows that receive direct sunlight.
Ceiling fans and portable fans can help circulate air and create a wind-chill effect that makes you feel cooler. Set ceiling fans to rotate counterclockwise to push cool air down.
Drinking plenty of water helps regulate your body temperature. Avoid caffeinated and alcoholic beverages as they can dehydrate you.
A cool shower can lower your body temperature and provide temporary relief from the heat.
Loose-fitting, light-colored clothing made of breathable fabrics like cotton can help you stay cool.
Try to limit the use of ovens, stoves, and other appliances that generate heat. Opt for cold meals or use a microwave instead.
While it’s no substitute for a functioning air conditioner, these tips can help you stay cool during an unexpected AC outage. If you’re experiencing issues with your air conditioning, contact Tri-State Heating and Air for prompt and professional repair services.
