The recent heat wave that hit Akron, Ohio has kept air conditioning contractors on their toes, running from home after home to repair desperately-needed units. With the heat advisory lasting multiple days, the city’s public health services recommended limiting time spent outdoors to a minimum and drinking plenty of water. In addition, residents were being told not to wear dark colored or tight-fitting clothing, not to leave children or pets in parked cars and to eat light meals. Officials even advised using movie theaters, malls, libraries and museums as cool locations to go to while air conditioner and heating contractors in Akron are servicing your home’s unit.
