It may be hard to believe, but we are two months away from summer— from sweaty, sweltering summer. Some are lucky enough to live in areas where the past summer temperatures never rose too high. These low temp numbers meant that these families never had a reason that compelled them to install ac – an air conditioning system. But as we all know, their luck is quickly changing.
Scientists around the world are warning us every day about the rate climate change is affecting weather and natural disasters globally. They don’t have to tell us twice. If you’ve noticed that your summers are getting hotter, stickier, and all-around more unbearable, you can nod your head toward climate change as the culprit. (Yes, of course, we know that we—humanity as a whole— are the real culprits of the culprit, but that’s beside the point we want to make here). What are the effects of these high temperatures on you, your family, and your home? Are they worth the cost to install ac?
The Short Term Effects of High Heat
When temperatures soar in Maryland during the summer months, the immediate effects of high heat inside homes can be significant. Without proper cooling systems, indoor temperatures can quickly become uncomfortable and even dangerous, leading to issues such as heat exhaustion and dehydration. Elderly individuals, young children, and those with pre-existing health conditions are particularly vulnerable to the short-term effects of extreme heat. Additionally, high humidity levels can exacerbate discomfort and make it harder for the body to regulate its temperature. Sleep disturbances, decreased productivity, and irritability are common consequences of enduring hot and humid conditions indoors.
The Long Term Effects of High Heat
Over time, prolonged exposure to high temperatures indoors can have detrimental effects on both the occupants and the structure of the home itself. Continuous heat exposure can cause damage to furniture, electronics, and other belongings. Mold and mildew growth may also become a problem in humid environments, leading to respiratory issues and potential structural damage. Moreover, chronic heat exposure can take a toll on residents’ health, contributing to heat-related illnesses, cardiovascular problems, and reduced overall well-being.
