How a Rental Air Conditioner Can Prevent Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion is a serious threat. When the temperatures rise it is important that you can find relief from the heat. If you don’t have an air conditioner there is a solution. A portable air conditioner to rent can be the perfect solution to prevent heat stroke.

What is Heat Stroke?

Heat stroke is a serious condition. Heat stroke comes from exposure to heat. When you are exposed to constant heat without relief, your body will react. Some of the symptoms of heat stroke include a fever of 104 degrees plus, confusion, seizures, coma, headache, dizziness, muscle cramps, and vomiting.

Heat stroke requires medical attention. Heat stroke can be fatal and should not be confused with heat exhaustion. According to the Mayo Clinic, heat exhaustion is one of the three heat-related illnesses, with heat cramps as the mildest form of heat illness, and heat stroke as the most serious type of heat illness. There is only one way to develop any three of these heat-related illnesses and that is to be exposed to high temperatures without relief.

How Can You Avoid Heat Illness?

There are three things that you can do to avoid heat illnesses. First, is to take a break from the heat. An air-conditioned space is the best way to cool down. A rental air conditioner can quickly cool down a space and prevent heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Second, stay hydrated. On very hot days you should consume up to a gallon of fresh cool water. Third, wear appropriate clothing. Long-sleeved shirts, hats, and full-length pants made of light fabric like cotton or linen will help to keep your skin cooler This is all extremely important for those who work outside, particularly in blue-collar jobs.

Can Heat Illness Occur Inside?

Sometimes it can get hotter indoors than it is outside. Buildings can amplify the heat exponentially from the sun. You may think that you are safer indoors on very hot days, but you aren’t unless you have climate control capabilities like an air conditioner. When the temperatures start to climb the only way to ensure that you are safe is to have an air conditioner to provide relief from the heat.
