If your air conditioning breaks down, we at Jenkins Services Group, LLC can help. Give us a call right away to get our expert technicians on the job as soon as possible. Our team has the right knowledge and experience to get your air conditioning back up and running quickly, but the process is not instantaneous, so we have put together this article to give you tips on how to stay cool while you wait for your air conditioning repair service to be completed.
- Shut Out the Sun – Our first tip for staying cool while you wait for your air conditioning repairs to be completed is to shut your blinds or curtains. The more sunlight enters your home, the more the air will heat up, so by blocking out the sun, you help keep your space cool. Keeping your curtains closed also helps keep your home cooler even when your air conditioning is working, and it can save you money on your cooling bills.
- Stay Hydrated – While you wait for air conditioning repair, you will most likely be sweating a lot. We encourage you to embrace the sweat, as it is your body’s natural cooling mechanism. As sweat evaporates off your skin, it carries heat energy away with it, leaving you feeling cooler. To make sure your body can continue to use this cooling mechanism, drink plenty of water and electrolytes.
- Use Cool Compresses – Our third tip for staying cool while you wait for air conditioning repair is to apply cool compresses to your skin. Run a washcloth under some cool water—or even chill it in the fridge if you like—then apply it to areas of your skin where the veins come close to the surface, such as your inner wrists or the back of your neck. This will help cool off your blood, making your whole body feel cooler as a result.
