The Health Benefits Associated With Air Conditioning
Find out more
Many people are unaware of the health benefits of air conditioning.
Although air conditioning is mainly used to keep us cool during the hotter months, there are a number of things that an air conditioning unit does that can positively affect your health.
The obvious ones are the filtration system, allergy control, and the cleaning and dehumidifying properties that an air conditioning unit has.
However, heat exhaustion can also seriously impact the health of specific individuals and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
This is particularly true for those with disabilities who are homebound. Also people who work from home, or those who have household pets like dogs or house cats.
Many of our customers have had positive things to say in regards to the health benefits they have experienced from our completely internal systems.
This includes those who have had issues with allergies, air filtration, and temperature and feel as if their lives have been transformed after installing one of our systems.
Customer case study:
We have been lucky enough to transform the life of one of our customers who suffers from MS and is homebound as a result of her illness. Being restricted to her bedroom and the living room, our customer has suffered considerably from heat exhaustion.
Since deciding to contact us and get air conditioning installed on her property, her life has changed significantly for the better.
Many of our other customers have also experienced the health benefits of internal air conditioning.
Joan has a “health condition that means heat exhaustion has made me very ill in previous years.” Since installing a Cool You solution, she has felt better than ever. She says: “This is the first summer where I have felt my health improve rather than deteriorate!”

Other health benefits of air conditioning
Although heat exhaustion can have a severe impact on the health of specific individuals, many people can suffer from respiratory conditions that can sometimes be life-threatening.
Allergy sufferers
Air conditioning can help people who suffer from allergies. The filtration system can filter pollen, pet hair, or other contaminants that may get into the home.
A system that filters these out means that allergy symptoms are kept at bay. Particularly for those who suffer from hay fever in the hotter months or when the pollen count is high.
Keeping windows closed can stop pollen from entering apartments. But it can be unbearable if no air enters your apartment. With an internal solution, you can keep your home cool and comfortable as well as keep the air clean.
Pollution and odour
Living in an apartment in the middle of the city, you are likely exposed to several pollutants and fumes daily.
Although this often can’t be prevented in day-to-day life. Air conditioning in your apartment can help you avoid exposure to foul odours and pollution.
Heavy traffic, public transport, and industrial buildings pollute cities.
These pollutants can harm health, and by having an air conditioner, you will not need to keep your windows open.
As a result of the filtration system, you will breathe in pure air free from radicals.
Consistent temperature is good for your health
Returning to what we said about heat exhaustion, living in uncomfortable temperatures can impact your health. Air conditioning allows you to maintain a consistently comfortable temperature in your home. This is much better for you and your health.
Experiencing severe heat or cold can use up energy quickly, impacting your immune system and cause fatigue.
Maintaining consistent body temperature gives your body a better chance at fighting infections quicker and puts less strain on your immune system.
The importance of humidity levels in the home
You are probably aware that high humidity in the home can cause many issues. These issues can damage your property and health, especially if your home has mould spores.
An apartment with a high humidity level can attract harmful bacteria and other microorganisms that can harm your health. Low humidity levels are also associated with negative health issues, including dry air that can cause skin problems and affect breathing and sinuses.
An air conditioning system is one of the most reliable ways to maintain a perfect humidity level in the home.
Better sleep means better overall health
An often-forgotten benefit of air conditioning is how it can improve your sleep. Many people struggle to sleep due to temperature fluctuations at night. This leads to tossing and turning.
You may go to bed at a perfectly comfortable temperature but wake up in the middle of the night sweating. Having an air conditioning solution in your bedroom can keep the room at a consistent temperature all night and help you get better sleep.
Some people have windows open at night. In an apartment, this rarely provides the airflow needed to keep you cool enough. In addition, keeping your window open can mean you are woken up by traffic or other commotion that can be found 24/7 in a city.
Ensuring that your sleeping conditions are perfect and that you can sleep through the night without being woken up can significantly benefit your health.
