As summer winds down and temperatures begin to drop, it can be tempting to put off major decisions about your air conditioning system. After all, you’ve made it through the hottest months, and the prospect of cooler weather may lead you to believe that your struggling AC unit can last just a bit longer. However, delaying an AC replacement until the following year or even later in the fall can lead to unnecessary stress, higher costs, and discomfort in your home. At Hall’s Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration, we strongly advise against waiting to replace your AC, even if summer is nearing its end.
Summers in Louisiana bring both heat and humidity—and everyone knows this is an unpleasant combo! No matter how hot it is, a high level of humidity will make the heat feel worse. This is because the moisture in the air makes it harder for the human body to release heat through perspiration. With more heat trapped in the body, people feel even hotter than the air around them.
