The Health Benefits of Air Conditioning

When it’s time to replace your AC system with a new, high efficiency model, chances are the first thing on your mind is getting back to the days of “Ah!” vs. “Ugh!” You know, that feeling you get when you return home on a blistering hot day, but everything is just as cool and comfortable as can be indoors.

It’s a great feeling. But so is getting relief from the allergy and asthma symptoms that might be plaguing you. And yes, that’s one more benefit you can expect from a new and well-maintained AC system.

 

 

In addition to providing cool air,your system is designed to remove excess humidity from your home. It’s the latter that can wreak havoc with upper respiratory conditions you might be grappling with. High levels of humidity create a welcoming environment for mold and mildew, two of the leading causes of allergies and asthma.

Your AC system, in combination with a whole-house air purifier, can also remove other pollutants from the air – like dust, chemical cleaning by-products, and pesticides – that might leave you feeling perpetually miserable.

With a new – or even somewhat older but well-maintained AC system – you also can expect to sleep better. No more tossing and turning on hot, sweaty sheets. With better sleep and more relaxation comes reduced stress, and who couldn’t benefit from that?

But hang onto your hat, because we’re still not done with the positive benefits of central air, such as: .

  • Reduced Risk of Dehydration & Heat Stroke – Sweating profusely also causes dehydration. That, in turn, can lead to heat stroke.
  • Stops Insects & Parasites – Your AC system reduces the number of insects and parasites since they prefer a warm, damp environment.
