Has it ever crossed your mind whether that nice cool air is doing you any good or causing any harm? Or do you simply just bask in the pleasure of a pleasant cool breeze when in desperate need? We are big advocates of air con, and believe that it is extremely useful in a number of situations. We thought that we should clear the air on the surprising health benefits that air conditioning can give us.
Respiratory Goodness
Contradictory to some negative beliefs, air conditioning can be beneficial for people with respiratory conditions, such as asthma. This is due to the way in which air con works as it processes the air, it filters pollutants and contaminants. Using air conditioning also means that windows do not need to be open, thus reducing the amount of irritants that can enter the room that you’re in – making air con a fantastic tool for those with hay fever, too. That being said, the air conditioning system needs to be in good condition and well-maintained in order for it work effectively.
Bacteria Reduction
Bacteria can be a big problem in damp, enclosed, warm spaces. Not only is this kind of atmosphere bad for the building, it’s bad for its inhabitants, too. One of the big benefits of air conditioning is that it works its magic to regulate humidity, keeping damp away and bacteria at bay. High humidity is a breeding ground for bacteria, therefore, the regulation of humidity helps to fight off the germs. On the opposite end of the scale, low humidity can cause dry skin conditions and sinus irritation.
Immunity Booster
Consistent air temperatures created by air conditioning can help boost poor immune systems and warn off fatigue. Being too warm can reduce concentration and drain your energy, whereas, being too cold can restrict your movements and can increase the chances of feeling aches and pains – air conditioning keeps you nicely in the middle.
Fluctuation in temperatures can be bad for your health, making it difficult to fight infections due to your body constantly adjusting to different temperatures. Putting your body on an even keel is the key to good health and this can be achieved by effective and well-maintained air conditioning.
These are just some of the benefits of a well installed and maintained air conditioning system. Get in touch with us today and we’ll guide you to a trusted installer who uses our quality materials and systems.
