Indoor Comfort Enemies: Excessive Heat
Keeping cool and comfortable in your own home should be the priority of every homeowner. Of the many home protection or lifestyle reasons to invest in good central air conditioning, your health and the health of your family is by far the most important. Without a reliable air conditioner, the excessive heat can result in fatigue and headaches at a minimum, and at worst it can cause heatstroke.
Heatstroke is a form of hypothermia which is life threatening and can be fatal, especially to the elderly, pets and infants. Signs of heatstroke may include:
- Rapid heartbeat and breathing
- Elevated blood pressure
- Cessation of sweating
- Dizziness
- Confusion, disorientation or hallucination
- Fainting
Heatstroke symptoms can occur without warning. If you notice these symptoms, get to an air conditioned area and seek medical attention immediately.
