Paso Robles  heating and cooling

Heating and cooling are necessary comforts in Paso Robles most of the year, and cooling is especially so from June through October. Although the common triple-digit summer temperatures start to drop in October, there are still clustered hot days when locals prefer to stay inside with the air conditioning running.

Vulnerable populations

A 2024 article in the American Medical Association’s (AMA) AMA News Wire reported that 60,000 people visit emergency rooms annually for heat-related issues. The report explains that children and senior citizens are particularly vulnerable. Others include:

  • Seniors who don’t have air conditioning at home or are outside in hot weather.
  • Children, who are busy playing, forget to come inside for a drink of water or to cool off.
  • Athletes and workers who are involved in strenuous outdoor activities.
  • Individuals with respiratory conditions, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
  • Certain kinds of medication can make people more susceptible to hot weather.
  • Individuals recovering from medical procedures.

Overall benefits of air conditioning

Providing easy access to cool interiors and fresh drinking water is essential for everyone, especially those who are vulnerable to heat. Paso Robles heating and cooling professionals report that a cool and comfortable air-conditioned interior provides many benefits, including:

  • Improved air quality by filtering and removing pollutants.
  • Better productivity in the workplace by removing the discomfort from being too warm.
  • Improved moods. Heat slows down brain function and raises heart rate, which can contribute to mood swings. Air conditioning that keeps the body cool also helps keep the mind cool and calm.

 

  • Better sleep by helping maintain a core body temperature that promotes a good night’s sleep.
