Six Benefits of Air Conditioning for Home and Office ComfortNew Title

According to the Met Office national climate series from 1884 to the present, the year 2022 was the 4th hottest summer for daily average temperature for the UK overall.

Dozens of locations across the country have also set new daily maximum temperature records. Out of which, seven locations have hit or even surpassed the recorded temperature of 40 degrees Celsius.

However, heat can cause a severe threat to human life, which is why it is important to consider the use of air conditioning in your London home or office.

Better air quality

Air conditioning is a brilliant way of improving ventilation and controlling your home’s temperature. It works by circulating and filtering the air. Improper air ventilation can become a hazard to your health due to dust and bacteria. This can lead to cough, cold, headache and fatigue.

Better quality sleep

One of the biggest causes of sleep disturbance in the summer months is overheating, as the heat interferes with your body’s natural temperature regulation. Although fans provide some relief, they are simply circulating stale, warm air. Air conditioning lowers your body temperature and allows for a more restful sleep.

Reduced possibility of asthma attacks

Air conditioning units filter the dirty air containing dust mites, pollutants or allergens. Air conditioning units can also eliminate dampness thereby reducing the risk of mould forming in the home. Eliminating the dirty air greatly reduces the chances of an asthma attack. It is especially important to change the air filters regularly to achieve the most out of your air conditioning unit.

Reduced risk of dehydration and heat stroke

When we sweat, a large amount of our water intake is lost, resulting in dehydration. Extreme temperatures also cause heat stroke. According to the CCRA3 Technical Report, the number of heat-related deaths in the UK could increase to 7,040 deaths per year by 2050. Both dehydration and heat stroke can be prevented by air conditioning.

Fewer insects and parasites

Air conditioners are a fantastic way of reducing the risk of insects and parasites. Insects like warm, damp climates which, can be eliminated with air conditioning. A cooler body temperature helps to avoid bites from mosquitos and other insects. A good air conditioner can also help to keep indoor pets free of ticks and fleas.

Home security

Air conditioning eliminates the need to leave windows and doors open, reducing the risk of break-ins and theft in your home.
