Does air con have health benefits?

Every homeowner wants peace of mind, knowing they are living in a safe and healthy house. One way to ensure this is the case is by installing air conditioning. There are several benefits to air conditioning that you may not know about, these are some of them…

Reduces humidity

Humidity can cause dampness and mould, which is bad for your chest, causing coughs and clouds. Air conditioning prevents this humidity, protecting your house and your family from the threat of these problems. 

Better air quality

Another way air conditioning can help your home is by improving air quality. The inside of your home can become a breeding ground for dust and bacteria, which can negatively impact your health when inhaled. However, air conditioning units have a filter that will clean the air (if maintained properly), reducing the spread of this bacteria in your home. 

Stops insects

Air conditioning can also deter insects from your home. If you have air-con installed, you will be less likely to crack open the window, preventing creepy crawlies from entering your home. However, even if those creepy crawlies do enter, the air con can still help by cooling the house and your body temperature which will deter mosquitos who prefer warmer climates and bodies.

Improve sleep

There’s nothing worse than a sleepless night of tossing and turning, not only is it distressing, but it also affects you the next day, causing sluggishness and irritability. Installing air conditioning is one of the best ways to improve your sleep quality throughout the summer. Our air conditioning installers recommend a sleep temperature between 15 – 19.4°C.

Reduces work stress

If you’re a business owner, installing air con in your workplace can improve the environment for your employees. When your employees are trying to focus on their job a hot, sweaty atmosphere can cause discomfort and distraction. An air conditioning unit enables your employees to get their job done in comfort.
