Kahului, United States - April 12, 2018 /PressCable/ —
A state-funded research in Hawaii revealed alarming projections on the weather and temperatures of the favorite summer destination of many due to climate change. Consequently, the demand for commercial AC companies and HVAC contractors in Maui are also assumed to increase this year.
According to the study funded by Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) through the University of Hawaii’s Sea Grant program called “Climate Change Impacts In Hawaii: A Summary Of Climate Change And Its Impacts To Hawaii’s Ecosystems And Communities,” sea levels as well as temperature is expected to increase this year and beyond. Not only does this mean that Maui and all of Hawaii will grow warmer, but the rise in sea levels could result to the disappearance of islands drowning underwater or getting heavily eroded.
Effects of climate change today
For the residents and tourists in Maui, the most immediate effect of climate change is the heat, drought and aridity as a result of higher average temperatures, warmer oceans and decreased trade winds. While nobody knows exactly when the worst will happen, there is consensus both scientifically and in the day to day that Maui has truly gotten warmer.
Not only will the rise in temperature cause Maui’s tourism to lessen significantly, but it can also be unbearable to both humans and plants and animals. Wildfires in forests can cause species to be endangered or even extinct, because of the high acidity and heat of the oceans, marine life could perish or migrate elsewhere. Diseases and health issues can be amplified by the heat especially with the elderly and children.
What can you do about the heat?
While the government and environmentalists the world over continue to research and lobby efforts to decrease greenhouse gases that are proven to be the major cause of climate change, there are some steps to decrease the chances of getting heat stroke and helping mitigate the discomfort of from the rising temperature and aridity.
The most important thing especially in the warm summer weather around the months of July to September is to stay cool. Making sure to bring water when going out and eat food that help cool down like watermelon and cucumber as well as dressing in lighter, more aerated fabrics can help lessen chances of overheating.
During the hottest hours of the day, it is most advisable too to stay indoors and use a good quality air-conditioner. Apart from installation, cooling systems at home should be checked regularly. The first thing to do when looking for HVAC contractors on Maui is to check if the technicians are EPA-certified therefore meaning that they have completed a course for an HVAC certificate.
AC Contractors on Maui help make sure that air-conditioners are working well and to its best capacity. But not all contractors are equally talented. There have been some horror stories about overspending on repair and maintenance of air conditioning and refrigeration because of under-qualified technicians especially now with the demand for air-conditioning contractors to install and repair worn down and over-used air-conditioners because of the heat.
Fortunately, there are companies like Scott’s Cooling who offer services like air conditioner repairs in Maui and fine tuning. The great thing about them is they have their “Fixed Right or It’s Free” guarantee and a 24/7 emergency repair service for when the AC malfunctions in the wee hours of the day. Their technicians are also trained in any and every model of air-conditioners and refrigeration systems. They offer the option of scheduling seasonal maintenance in advance so air-conditioner care is never forgotten.
How to help reduce climate change
There are a great number of ways to help lessen carbon emission or in individuals, the carbon footprint. While some of the methods can be quite too radical, there are more practical and actionable steps to take.
As an individual, the age-old mantra, “reduce, reuse, recycle” is the most basic thing that can contribute to the environment. Reducing consumption of unnecessary things, reusing containers and household materials as well as finding a way for waste to be recycled either through up-cycling or selling it to someone who does recycle.
In summary
While climate change may not affect Maui as adversely as is projected this year, it is certain that temperatures in the tropical paradise will be affected and the heat will be felt in 2018 and beyond. Keeping cool during hot weather is necessary to prevent heat strokes and migraine. Finding a credible and highly skilled AC contractor in Maui like Scott’s Cooling will ensure a properly operational cooling system for maximum comfort anytime.
