    With the effects of global warming disrupting weather patterns, heat has become a health concern for everyone. Heatstroke can be dangerous to human health, damaging internal organs and the brain.

    This does not only occur outdoors but can also affect in enclosed spaces that lack proper ventilation and air conditioning. Here are some of the health benefits from air conditioning that can improve lives in summer.

    Improved air quality

    Interior air quality is vital to the health of occupants in a house. When air does not circulate, it turns stale and contaminated for human consumption and can be a health hazard, especially to people with allergies and asthmatics.

    Air conditioning helps to circulate and filter the air in the house, removing mold and pollutants that may affect breathing for those inside. However, there is a caveat when using air conditioning units.

    Sustain regular servicing and always ensure the unit and especially the filters are kept super clean and replaced as required. Dirty filters can circulate contaminated air, causing health problems to users.

    Comfortable sleep

    The human body requires a comfortable sleep to reset its functions and self-heal while at rest. Its common knowledge that any extreme temperature, either too hot or too cold, is not conducive to a good night’s sleep. Sleep deprivation leads to serious health complications, including high blood pressure, weight gain, weakened immunity, and low sex drive among many.

    A good air conditioning unit, even from a refurbished PTAC units supplier, can guarantee you a comfortable sleep at night. PTAC Inc. is a reliable supplier of both new and refurbished PTAC units for home and institutional use.

    Mental alertness

    For our bodies to work efficiently, they need an optimum temperature that is neither too cold nor too hot. Workers exposed to either extremes do not perform at maximum capacity, as the discomfort is a distraction to concentration.

    Extreme heat greatly slows down human activity, including mental alertness and this affects judgment and quality decision-making. Offices that install air conditioning experience better productivity during summer as employees remain focused in the cool environment.

    Better moods

    In extreme heat, people tend to get easily irritated for no apparent reason. This can cause unnecessary conflicts between family members or colleagues, disrupting the social atmosphere. In workplaces, this leads to poor interpersonal relationships that interferes with collaboration between team members.

    Escalated heart rate and the resultant high blood pressure due to the heat discomfort is the reason for this aggressive behavior. Avoid this potentially hazardous health situation by installing air conditioning in your premises.

    Reduces heat stress

    Heat stress is a fatal heat-related disease that can claim a life, especially among vulnerable groups. The prevailing climatic change has brought with it unusual heat waves that pose a severe threat to human life.

    According to the CDC, extreme body temperatures may cause damage to the brain or other vital internal organs. Children under four years are especially vulnerable including seniors above 65 years of age.

    Patients on certain medications and those affected by obesity are equally at risk of suffering heatstroke. Besides hydrating, air conditioning is the best solution to controlling temperature extremes.

    Air conditioning has become integral in many homes, institutions, and workplaces. As listed above, these appliances have some good health benefits for all. However, to stay on the track of good health benefits, top-notch maintenance practice is mandatory.

    Failure to keep the system permanently clean can turn it into a health hazard that circulates infections to those inside. Engage professional services to keep your air conditioning system health compliant.
