Trying to stay cool in the summer can be a huge ordeal.
As a child, my family would resort to hours spent at the community pool underneath the scalding sun, or leaving our windows wide open (at the mercy of sudden rain or mosquitos) in hopes of a draft of cool wind.
It’s true that I’m not the only one who’s had to experience this— lots of other people and families, especially those living in hot climates, have had to go through countless hours of stress each year while trying to stay cool during the summer. In my experience, there is no method or gimmick or hack that compares to investing in a good HVAC system. My air conditioner has never failed to keep me cool all throughout the summer, even despite the soaring temperatures of my hot climate. In the few times that it has broken, I’ve managed to quickly get it fixed with a call to my HVAC provider for an appointment to get it repaired. In general, my air conditioner has proved to cool me down better than any open window or fan ever could, especially because the cooling it provides me is independent from the temperature of the air outside (unlike in the cases of using an open window or a fan)! I have even managed to further avoid stress by routinely scheduling check-ups of my air conditioner with my HVAC technician every spring, making sure that my air conditioner is functional and ready to cool me down in the summer. With all of this, I’ve completely taken the stress out of cooling down for the summer!
