Baldwin County Alabama Wow

baldwin county

Baldwin County continues to be a leader within the State of Alabama as it relates to growth in population. From 2021 to 2022 Baldwin County grew by more than 7000 people. Its growth is nothing new. Since the census in 2010 Baldwin County has growth by 34.6%. It also climbed the list of the largest counties in Alabama going from 7th in 2010 to 4th in 2022. This growth represents 63,000 new people.

So, what does this mean to you, a resident of Baldwin County Alabama? Well, if you are a new resident of the county, it means you have a great deal of retail outlets to choose from that are mostly only found only in larger communities. On the other hand, if you are a resident that has been here since the 1990’s you have seen change that you probably would have never envisioned. From overcrowded roadways to water shortages Baldwin County continues to be bursting at the sims.

With this growth you have a larger number of service companies looking to move into Baldwin County. This is normally a good thing, but it can also bring in several companies that are trying to capitalize on this growth while offering less than desirable services.

Heat Wave Need That Air Conditioner

air conditioner

The Summer Heat takes a major toll on how your air conditioner works in this extreme heat we are now facing. Below are some key things to remember to help your air conditioner work efficiently:

1. Keep your filter absolutely clean during this elevated outdoor temperature.

2. Make sure the outdoor unit is perfectly clean of dirt, grass, and lint.

3: Keep curtains and shades drawn to keep out direct sunlight especially from midday to sundown.

4. If the outdoor unit coil is exposed to direct sunlight, try to shade it with lattice fencing several feet from the unit for clearance and cleaning. Many units have louvered surroundings to prevent direct sunlight, many do not.

5. The cooling coils, condenser coils and condensate drain lines should be cleaned long before June through September. Fall and early spring are the best times to have these units cleaned while the attics are cool and there is less stress on the Mechanic and Customer.

6. Treat your service men well during this time of extreme heat. They are overworked and exhausted with no relief in sight until late October. Be Kind to Your Service Technician Please!

I know that we have given you this similar information recently in our blog section. We at Action Heating and Air Conditioning feel that with all the heat we are facing now it is important to share this information often to help your air conditioner work efficiently.

If you have any questions as it pertains to your air conditioner or need any repairs, please keep us in mind.

Heat – How to beat It this Summer.

Heat thsi Summer

The heat wave in South Alabama is not appear to be going away. We are getting heat alerts daily and every city is putting out caution warning about water usage outdoors.

So, with this said what do we need to do to still enjoy the remainder of our Summer with relief not coming until mid or late September.

We at Action Heating and Air Conditioning want to share a few commonsense tips to help you stay safe while enjoying the great outdoors in this Summer’s heat.

First let’s talk about what you need to be on the lookout for as it pertains to heat exhaustion. Here are the common symptoms:

Heavy Sweating, Paleness, Muscles Cramps, Weakness, Fainting, Headaches, and finally Nausea or Vomiting.

Here are some precautions you can take to avoid heat exhaustion.

  • Most Importantly Stay Hydrated

Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water, especially before starting the day and then regularly throughout the day. You should avoid a great deal of alcohol and caffeine which work to dehydrate you. Try to drink at least 2 glasses of water every hour if possible. Keeping a water bottle next to you all day can be a big help in reminding you of the need to drink water regularly throughout the day. Make sure your bottle can help maintain the coolest of your water as long as possible.

  • Dress Lightly

Wear light weight, light colored clothing that fits loosely. Always try to wear a wide brimmed hat to keep the sun not only off your head but as well off your face. They have developed fabrics that can help with this as well.

  • Apply Sunscreen

Not only does wearing the proper clothing helps, but you should also apply sunscreen to protect yourself. Sunburn can not only hurt but can be hazardous to your health. Be sure to cover those sunburn prone areas well, your nose, ears, and back of your neck.

  • Take Breaks

If you are doing work or exercising be sure and take breaks often. Realize when any of the above symptoms may start occurring, it is definitely time to take a break. When taking a break look for a shady area where you can cool off.

Heat Wave in Daphne Alabama

heat wave

How hot does it normally get in Daphne, Alabama during the Summer? This is probably a question you are asking yourself as we go through one of the hottest summers we have experienced in a while. Well, here is the answer.

The hottest season lasts from May 19th to September 28th. The daily high is normally 84 degrees Fahrenheit. The hottest month normally is July with a high of 89 degrees and a low of 74 degrees. Well, we are way above this norm this year. Today’s high will be 93 degrees with a low of 81 degrees. The highest forecasted temperature for the next 15 days is 95 degrees with the lowest at 75 degrees.

So that does this mean to you keeping cool and healthy through the remainder of the Summer? One of the key factors is staying hydrated and staying away from doing major work or exercise activities during the hottest part of the day.

Your Air Conditioner also plays a major role in your well being through this heatwave. It can not only keep you cool but also improve your air quality when indoors.

We have discussed in one of our previous articles a list of things you can do yourself to ensure your Air Conditioner is working properly. Please review that article for these items.

It is also important to have a quality professional HVAC company ready when and if you need them. We also have previously discussed in another article what an HVAC expert’s qualifications are in the State of Alabama.
