Heat Wave Need That 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!

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.
