Summer is far from over in North Texas, so you can still expect sweltering temperatures for the remaining days of the season. In fact, temperatures may even reach 106 degrees if the pattern continues. This is why many people are looking for a way to escape the blazing heat of the sun.
Lone Star Comfortaire, one of the leading HVAC contractors in the area, shares how to stay cool this summer.
Local Initiative
Since May, MedStar has already responded to 264 heat-related emergencies. This is almost double the number of reported cases by this time last year. As a response, the Salvation Army offers a dozen cooling centers across North Texas to help keep people cool and safe this summer. These cooling centers are open eight hours a day, and a two-hour extension is given to their homeless shelters.
Stay Indoors
Many people are choosing to stay indoors to avoid the heat. This is a smart move, especially when you have an efficient air conditioning unit to keep you cool this summer. Damaged cooling units, however, can be troublesome. To manage this issue, get in touch with your local contractor that provides professional air conditioning repair service.
Drink Plenty of Water
Always carry a bottle of water with you if you are planning to go out. This will help you stay hydrated even when exposed to extreme heat. You should also grab a glass of water whenever you feel hazy or frazzled to snap out of a midday slump.
Lone Star Comfortaire offers professional air conditioning installation and repair to keep a comfortable indoor temperature. Call us today at (972) 295-9661 to schedule a service appointment. We serve residents of Plano, TX, and other nearby areas.
