What To Do While Waiting For Air Conditioning Repair Idabel

By Dianna Harper


When the summer days start to break 100 degrees on a regular basis, home AC units are pushed to the max. If the system breaks down during this time it could be a couple of days before it can be repaired. When waiting for air conditioning repair Idabel there are some things that the occupants of a home can do to remain comfortable even though the temperature inside the home may be rising.

If possible, throw a window unit in one of the windows. While the unit may not cool the entire home, it will provide an oasis in the home where occupants can relax until the main unit is repaired. If possible, place the unit in the room where the occupants will sleep.

As soon as you discover the system is not working do your best to keep the doors and windows closed during the daytime. Keep curtains closed to prevent solar heating of the room. Avoid cooking and use of appliances that create heat.

If it is going to take a couple of days to get the needed parts, plan to spend the night with friends or family. Get a hotel room if needed. Sleep is necessary for dealing with stress, including the stress of repairing the AC system.

If outside temperatures drop below those inside the home at night, open all windows to allow for natural cooling. Use fans to draw in cool air. If the home is more than one level, use a fan in an upper level window to exhaust the heat from the remainder of the home.

Take the kids for a swim. Get in the water yourself. The cool water helps to cool your body and can remove the stickiness caused by perspiration. After the swim, your body will remain cool for about an hour. If you do not have access to a place to swim, take a cold shower.

Remember that preventative maintenance can prevent the need for air conditioning repair Idabel during the heat of summer. During the preventative check the system is inspected and repaired as needed. Parts can be ordered and installed before the demand for the system is high and the owner can remain cool all summer long. Additionally, the regular maintenance of the machine helps it to run at top efficiency. Read more about: air conditioning repair idabel
