Are your air conditioning solutions beneficial to sufferers of chest problems or hay fever? Summer can be a challenging time for those with asthma, as environmental factors like humidity and temperature variations can cause significant discomfort. However, there's a silver lining. By controlling these factors in your home, you can find relief. Our air conditioning systems, when used correctly, can be a beacon of comfort, offering significant benefits to asthmatics and hay fever sufferers.
Removing allergens and pollutants
Air conditioning systems offer a unique advantage by cooling the air and filtering it, thereby removing allergens and pollutants (you will need specific advice depending on what air filtering you need). This dual function is particularly beneficial for those with hay fever. While it's important to seek specific advice on the type of air filtering you need, it's clear that air conditioning can be a game-changer for people with asthma.
It's no secret that environmental factors play a significant role in triggering asthma and hay fever. This is where air conditioning comes in, helping to purify the air from harmful substances and maintain a comfortable temperature, provided the system is used and maintained correctly.
There are specific measures you can take depending on the stimuli that trigger your attacks:
- Maintain the ideal humidity level between 40 and 60%. Symptoms worsen in both too-dry and too-humid environments. If you are allergic to mites or moulds, they thrive in a hot or humid environment. Also, air that is too dry in your home could cause feelings of tightness and wheezing.
- Make sure you set your system temperature correctly. You want a difference in temperature between inside and outside to be manageable. Five to eight degrees is good. Any more significant variation may aggravate the symptoms of asthma.
- Choose an air conditioner with suitable filters and the ability to manage humidity.
- Regularly maintaining your system is not just a suggestion; it's a requirement. Our service team is here to help, ensuring your system is in top condition to work efficiently and that the filters do their job properly, giving you peace of mind.
Following these measures and utilising air conditioning can significantly improve your quality of life, even during summer.
