Ways internal air conditioning improves the air quality in your home

Internal air conditioning improves the air quality in your home. The quality of the indoor air we breathe impacts comfort, lifestyle and even health over the short- and long-term.

If you’re looking for ways to improve the air quality in your home, internal air conditioning could be the solution you seek.

Urban living is the norm for most people, and a 2016 report from the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, ‘Every Breath We Take,’ examined how air pollution impacts health in depth.

While there’s not a great deal we can do about air quality outside our homes. This air impacts the air inside any building.

One of the report’s principal recommendations is that people be more aware of the air quality in their homes and indoor environments and make improvements wherever possible.

If you feel that poor air quality in your home is impacting your enjoyment of life or affecting your health or other people’s health, there are solutions you can put in place.

Reasons the quality of the air we breathe is so important

Air quality at home and in the workplace impacts our productivity and comfort and can affect health, too.

It’s understood that poor indoor air quality can lead to tiredness, headaches, low concentration levels, and irritation of the eyes and airways. Poor air quality is also a trigger for allergies and asthma.

Poor air quality and damp, humid environments in some homes can be considerable risk factors for people with asthma. Increased levels of bacteria, mould growth, and dust mites can generally all be found in homes with poor air quality.

There are solutions to remedy poor indoor air quality, and fitting air conditioning could be the way forward.

Installing fully internal air conditioning does help improve air quality in your home. The Cool You UK fully internal system is ideal for any property, including London apartments.

Three of the top benefits of fitting fully internal air conditioning into your home

Lots of things impact the air quality in homes, but three of the main elements include:

1. Temperature

Warm, stuffy homes can be uncomfortable, and the insulation and seals used in modern apartments and newly built homes are very effective at keeping out incoming air.

These factors can all lead to feelings of increased lethargy or the onset of poor health.

Fitting air conditioning can help as it ensures ambient room temperatures remain at the most comfortable level, typically between 20 °C and 20-22°C.

This temperature ensures you remain within your comfort zone and is perfect for all daily activities, including sleeping, entertaining and working.

The most common solution is to install a unit in the open plan living area, covering the kitchen, dining and living room space, and bedroom.

2. Humidity

Smaller homes and apartments can become humid.  You’ll probably notice this most after hopping out of the shower, when steam and humidity can build up tremendously.

Humidity is measured by the water vapour in the air, and air that retains a lot of water vapour is humid.

On the other hand, air containing very little water vapour feels very dry. Excess humidity in your home may also cause a build-up of black mould in the areas behind cupboards and wardrobes.

Low—to mid-range humidity is most comfortable in the home. High humidity levels can make you feel uncomfortable and clammy.

High humidity can also cause or exacerbate health problems, including sleep issues, dehydration, and allergies or asthma, which high levels of bacteria, mould and dust mites may trigger.

Internal air conditioning addresses humidity in the home. When your air conditioning systems are running, warm, humid air passes over the very cold surface of the units. The air discharged by your air conditioning solution contains significantly reduced levels of water vapour.

3. Build up of bacteria and mould

A warm, humid space can cause bacteria to grow, as well as increased levels of dust mites.

Once you remove the warmth and humidity from the air in your home with an internal air conditioner, your environment feels pleasant and more comfortable. The clever filtration in air conditioning also extracts dust and impurities. This means the air discharged from the solutions is much purer, cooler, and dehumidified.
