Here in Wisconsin we often think of winter as our harshest climate period, with snow and bitter cold possible for a number of months every year. The reality is that our climate can be challenging almost any time of the year and we need to be prepared for the variety that mother nature dishes out in The Dairy State.
With temps in the triple digits this week and heat index potentially over 120 degrees - there will be very limited availability of air conditioning technicians for your car, business, or home.
At home or at your office, take a few minutes and remove the cover to your air conditioning unit and clean the fins, removing debris that will take away from the efficiency of the unit. Make sure all the lines are also clear of debris and show no wear or kinks.
Also, take a look around the neighborhood and find the people that may be at risk in extreme weather. Look in on them this week as well. If friends don't have air conditioning, invite them over during the heat of the day when temperatures are in the 90's or higher.
One final note - Please - do not leave children or pets in a car when there is potential for hot weather conditions. Even with the windows down the temperatures in vehicles will reach incredibly dangerous levels very quickly.
