Some West Virginia Residents Are Suffering in a Heatwave

The less privileged people of Fairmont can find it hard to escape the current heatwave, which has reached temperatures that can cause serious illness or injury in many cases. The Union Mission is a rare place where people can beat the heat, or even receive care after prolonged exposure, all for free. The Marion County Public Library is also counted as a great spot for people to beat the heat, and maybe read something neat, all for free as well. Many also go to the Soup Opera for some respite. Temperatures have reached triple digits, and this coupled with the ever present humidity can make fans useless. Even college students are having a hard time with the temperatures, and they can sit around in their underwear all day in the summer!

Really, no one should go without air conditioning in temperatures like these. Yeah, people have dealt with it in the past, but that does not mean that people should have to deal with it now. People don’t have to deal with small pox these days, right? Window units can be great if you can stand to stay cool in only one room. Their downside is that they take up one of your windows, and they can run inefficiently, eating up your electricity bill. Central HVAC is expensive to install and it takes significant work and time to do so, which can displace those trying to be cool in the first place.

AC-World offers a great solution to both central air and window units. They offer easy to install ductless air conditioners which need only a small hole drilled to be installed in most cases. If you are a landlord, this can be a great way to keep your tenants cool, and they even come with heating capability in many cases, so they can displace conventional heating as well. Even better, you will notice that they are cheap to run and won’t deal too much damage to your energy bill.
