Air conditioning service can take some time, and you need to work to stay cool while the work is being done. Here are a few tips for keeping cool and passing the time.

When your AC goes on the fritz,Keep Cool until the Work is Completed With Air Conditioning Service Articles you will need to contact an air conditioning service to determine what the problem could be. In many cases your unit will be able to be repaired, but in some instances the only option will be to install a brand new AC unit. Either way, you will need to keep cool until the repair or installation is completed. 

If you have any fans in your home, you will want to use these to move the air while you wait for the AC to be restored. When the air outside is extremely hot, close the shades and keep the windows closed to keep excess heat outside. Be strategic with how fans are placed to maximize air flow. Pay attention to how warm it is inside your home, and be prepared to leave if the temperatures become increasingly uncomfortable. This is especially important if you have children or care for elderly friends or family members.

Staying hydrated is an important part of keeping cool. Try to drink adequate amounts of water to replace what you are losing through sweat and urination. If you are not sweating or using the bathroom, you are at risk for dehydration and this can cause serious complications. An occasional sports drink is all right, too, as long as you are getting adequate water as well.
If it is going to be a while before the air conditioning service team can get your AC fixed, you may want to seek a cool place to spend the day and the evening. During the day you can head to the shopping mall or indoor play area. In the evening, consider visiting friends or family that have a working AC unit. They will likely be glad to help you.

Another way to keep cool when you are waiting for air conditioning service is to find a beach or pool where you can spend time in the water. Make sure you use adequate sunscreen and continue to hydrate. Spending time in the pool or lake can be refreshing and can help pass the time while you wait for the work to be completed.

Paying for air conditioning service can be a strain on your budget. Many companies will offer some type of payment plan or financing, especially in the case of emergency repairs. Make sure you communicate with the company before work begins, and let them know that you cannot pay for the entire repair or replacement up front. 

Once your AC repair or replacement is completed, enjoy the refreshment that comes from relaxing at home in comfort!
