An air conditioner is your lifeline during a prolonged heat wave.

This life-saving comfort system is a necessity when temperatures soar and linger in Grand Island as they have under the heat dome that has scorched across Nebraska.

As the temperatures begin to rise in Grand Island, many homeowners are firing up their air conditioners for the first time in months. But what if, instead of a refreshing blast of cool air, you’re hit with an unpleasant smell?

July 17 is the coolest date on the calendar.

It marks National Air Conditioning Day, commemorating the work of Willis Carrier, the father of the modern-day indoor air conditioning system. It is the perfect time to put your feet up, chill out, and luxuriate in the cool comfort of your Nebraska home.

A good night’s sleep is essential for your overall health and well-being. Sleep affects everything from your mood and energy levels to your immune system and physical health. That’s why maintaining a comfortable sleeping environment is so important—especially during warm nights when high temperatures can disrupt your rest.

Your air conditioner (AC) can do several things––keep your Nebraska home’s indoor air cooler than outdoor temperatures, help to keep indoor airborne allergens at bay, and help keep your home’s humidity low. But one thing it can’t do is kill mold.

According to the US DOE, air conditioners use about 6 percent of all electricity in the country at a cost of roughly $29 billion to homeowners.

After working hard all winter to keep your home warm, your AC system deserves a refresh before it starts cooling things down for the summer.
