How To Deal With The Hot Australian Summer
Australian summers can be some of the hottest in the world. As much we all enjoy the great weather, some days can get too hot and we can quickly become overheated and uncomfortable. Luckily, there are many ways we can stay cool and still have all the fun we look forward to over summer. In this article, we’ll look at the best ways to deal with the heat of Australian summers, including cooling systems, scheduling maintenance so your system is efficient, and a few other tips and tricks to help you and your family keep cool.
Keeping your cool
Air conditioners have proven to be the best way to keep your home cool. There are many different options when it comes to which system is right for your home. The most important factors to consider are the size of your home, the amount of energy you’d like your system to be consuming, and of course, your budget. The best approach is to speak to a professional, who will help you find the perfect system for your home. If you’re looking for the simplest way to keep cool this summer, look no further than getting yourself an air conditioner.
Plan ahead with an air conditioner service
There’s nothing worse than having your air conditioner malfunction during the hotter days in summer. Dust and dirt accumulate within your cooling unit over time, which hinders your system’s ability to cool effectively. Air conditioners that aren’t functioning properly won’t be as efficient in cooling down your home. Not to mention they might also be consuming more energy than they should. To avoid these issues, ensure that you have your air conditioner serviced regularly. Regular servicing by a professional helps to maintain your cooling system’s optimal performance and energy efficiency. A professional will achieve this by conducting a thorough inspection, cleaning the components, and addressing any potential issues your system may have.
Your system deserves a professional
After spending money on an air conditioning system, the last thing you want to do is get it serviced by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. When booking your system for a service, don’t settle for anything less than a company who will send you an expert technician and offer you exceptional workmanship. The best technicians possess a deep understanding of cooling systems and have years of experience in the field. This will ensure that your system is in the best hands possible, and that it will function optimally after the service.
Another benefit to investing in regular services is that it extends your cooling system’s lifespan significantly, preventing premature wear and tear and costly breakdowns. Meaning you and your family will get as much out of your system as possible.
How else can you keep cool?
Now that you’ve got your cooling system sorted, why not try some of these tips and tricks to keep you and your family extra cool this summer?
Eat something cool
Everyone knows you should opt for cold drinks, but sticking to cold food can keep you cool too. There is an endless list of delicious cold dishes to try. From salads, to cold soups, Poke bowls and quiches, cold summer dishes can be as delicious as they will be effective in helping you keep cool throughout summer.
Stay in the shade
Because we’re close to the equator, Australia reports some of the highest levels of UV radiation in the world. This means that sun safety is paramount. Most people think that you have to be in the sun to have fun during summer, but there’s a world of activities to enjoy, while staying safe, and cool in the shade. Parks are perfect because you’ll be able to have a picnic, play garden sports and enjoy yourself under the shade of the trees.
Look after your best friend
Pets feel the effects of high temperatures way more than we realise. Because their coats are designed to keep heat in, you’ll often see your pet panting or seeking the cool of shade long before we start feeling the heat of the day. Make sure your pets have access to plenty of water throughout the day, and make sure that the garden you keep them in has plenty of shade, or gives them access to your home where they can come in and find a cool place to rest.
