Top 5 Reasons to Have Air Conditioning Installed

Air conditioning may seem inappropriate in the UK as clouds and rain are often the dominant weather but when summer does arrive you'll be glad you opted for the refreshingly cool feel of an air conditioned home or office. Unlike warmer countries where air conditioning is the norm, in the UK many people have yet to experience the benefits of having air conditioning fitted.

If you're tired of being too hot or too cold in your home or workplace then checkout the top five reasons to choose air conditioning below.

1) Stay cool

Air conditioning reduces the temperature of a building in hot weather so that the people who use the building can escape from the oppressive outside heat. Warm weather can make people listless and tired, especially in the workplace. With air conditioning you can feel more active and more productive even in the hottest of weather.

2) Stay warm

As well as keeping rooms cool in summer, air conditioning can also heat the area in colder weather. In large spaces such as open plan offices or public buildings it is often hard to achieve a steady temperature by using individual heaters. With units the entire space can be evenly heated so that everyone can enjoy the space in comfort.

3) Cleaner air

Units can also produce cleaner air as they are fitted with filters which help to purify the air as it's circulated. These filters can trap dust, pollution and smoke and can really benefit allergy sufferers. Air conditioning is particularly useful if you suffer from hay fever as the filters can trap pollen particles and help to reduce the symptoms of hay fever.

4) Dryer air

Most systems also feature a dehumidifying function which can help to reduce the levels of damp in the air. Having a dryer atmosphere can help to reduce the risk of mould and mildew building up which can encourage dust mites and create mould spores in the atmosphere. Dehumidifiers can also reduce the effects of condensation such as rotten window frames and fungus growing on walls. If you have a particularly damp area such as a cellar, garage or workshop then air conditioning units can help to dry these areas out.

5)Units can be portable

You don't need to spend money on having a full system fitted as you could buy a portable unit and use it to regulate the temperature in any room of your choice. Portable units are particularly useful for cooling individual rooms which are prone to excessive heat such as server rooms and kitchens.

Investing in an air conditioning unit can create a fresher, dryer and more comfortable space to work and live in.
