AIR CONDITIONING
Benefits of Air Conditioning in the home
Air conditioning doesn’t just cool you down, it will also improve the quality of air around you. This leads to many benefits, some of which include respiratory conditions, the health of electrical equipment, work efficiency and general physical health. As well as these benefits, air conditioners will eliminate pollutants and contaminants including pollen and dust mites from the air. You must ensure to look after and service your air conditioner regularly to maximise its effectiveness!
Respiratory Benefits
In the hotter months of the year, when you walk into a room with air conditioning, you should notice it is easier to breathe, especially if you suffer from hay fever, asthma or any other respiratory problems. There are a couple of reasons for this, firstly a room without air conditioning is likely to have the windows open causing harmful particles such as pollutants, dust and smoke to flow into the room. A large number of pollen particles in the air are very common in summer. With an air conditioner, these pollen particles will likely get trapped in the filters (as they are quite large in size), therefore stopping them from flowing into the room, this includes any other larger particles that could be an irritant to your system. The quality of air is cleaner and less harmful within an air conditioned room.
Fungi Growth
When the humidity of air is lowered (which is what occurs when we use air conditioning to cool a room) it decreases the chances of mould and other fungi growing, as they prefer drier, more humid environments. Not only does this save time having to clean up, but it also means bugs such as cockroaches, mould mites and termites aren’t attracted to the fungus free room! Like we mentioned above it is important that you get your air con serviced and cleaned regularly to prevent this type of growth.
