What NOT To Do When The AC Goes Out

Staying cool during the summer months is essential to both our health AND our comfort, so we know how frustrating it is when your AC goes out. That said, there are certainly some big no-no’s when it comes to trying to keep cool while waiting for a tech to fix your unit. Check out our biggest “don’ts” below and remember: we offer 24/7 HVAC services! 

Don’t Use Appliances Or Devices That Generate Heat

Stoves are the biggest heat generating culprits, but since all appliances and electronics are heat generators, other devices can include: dishwasher, washer, dryer, lights, computers, televisions, hair dryers, and hair straighteners or curlers.

Don’t Try To Use Your Fridge Or Freezer To Cool Your Home

Seems like a no brainer, but people certainly do get creative when it comes to beating the Arkansas and Texas heat! While it may seem ingenious to leave your fridge or freezer open as a makeshift home cooling device, you’re really just setting yourself up for trouble. Your home refrigerator unit isn’t meant to cool a large area, and doing so will surely ruin it – along with your food.

Don’t Try To DIY

You know in the movies whenever the machinery breaks and the guy gives a little kick to get it going? Yeah. Don’t do that. And while duct tape solves a many wonderful woes, your broken AC won’t be one of them. Trust us when we say this one is a job best left to the pros!
