If your air conditioner breaks down during a summer heatwave, staying cool becomes a top priority. While waiting for the AC repair company to arrive, you can take a few simple steps to keep your home comfortable and protect yourself from the heat. Here are three effective ways to beat the heat until professional help arrives from ABC Plumbing, Heating, Sewer, and HVAC.
1. Take a Dip or Cool Down with Water
If you have access to a pool, now is the perfect time for a swim. Immersing yourself in water is one of the fastest ways to lower your body temperature. Don’t have a pool? Try a cold shower or set up a kiddie pool in your backyard for quick relief. Even soaking your feet in cold water can make a difference.
2. Avoid Cooking Indoors
Heat-producing appliances like stoves and ovens can make an already warm house even hotter. Instead of cooking indoors, opt for grilling outside, ordering takeout, or preparing a no-cook meal. Keeping your kitchen cool will help prevent additional heat buildup in your home.
3. Use Fans to Circulate Air
Turn on ceiling fans to keep the air moving and create a cooling effect on your skin. While fans don’t lower the room temperature, the airflow can make you feel several degrees cooler. For additional cooling at night, place box fans in windows to draw in cooler outdoor air.
