When it gets brisk, we all attempt a lot of things to keep ourselves cozy in Long Island. Unfortunately, some of these things are in fact making us colder! Fortunately, Airmax Long Island Inc is always ready to check on your
furnace maintenance—and that will certainly keep you warm.
Take a look at some of the common fables about what will help you warm up when the temperatures reduce. These things are actually making you colder!
Drinking hot drinks will warm you up. Wrong. It may feel nice and warm to hold that warm mug, but once you drink a heated beverage, your body will operate against you and switch on your natural cooling mechanisms. Ok, but alcoholic beverages can make you warmer. Wrong again. While alcohol can warm up your skin, it can really make you colder because it can lower your core temperature. A long, hot shower or bath will do the trick. In fact, you’re only going to feel more cold when you hop out of the hot water and the water commences to evaporate off your skin in the cold air. You should always wear dark colors to absorb the sun’s heat and leave light colors for the warmer days. While it’s valid that white or light clothing will reflect the sun’s rays, it may also reflect your body’s own heat in exchange—essentially blocking your body heat under your clothes. Most body heat escapes through your head, so I’m good with my hat. The quantity of heat that escapes from your head is equivalent to the area of exposed skin on your head in comparison with the rest of your body. So, protect as much skin as possible to dodge this heat loss. So now you know what you could be doing improperly in trying to keep yourself comfortable. What you can do that will help keep you comfy is faithfully setting up your routine annual furnace maintenance appointments with Airmax Long Island Inc in Long Island.
