One of the benefits of having AC for your home in the summer is to give a comfortable environment and make your work from home easy during this COVID time. During the warmer seasons, the weather can change at any time and extreme heat can definitely be very uncomfortable. Having properly-installed and maintained AC will ensure that you can enjoy a better and more comfortable atmosphere.
Have you ever had one of those days when everything seems to drag on because it’s hot and uncomfortable? Air conditioning can fix that! Air conditioning can actually improve employee work from home comfort keeping their minds clear and ready to tackle their tasks for the day.
Typically doors and windows are closed off to Air Conditioned rooms. This means less noise enters the room keeping these places cool and quiet.
Hundreds of people have died from heat stroke. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that, “Air Conditioning is the number one protective factor against heat-related illness and death.”
Improved air quality is another benefit of having AC for your home in the summer. Today’s residential AC systems come with effective, air-purifying filtration features to reduce dust, bacteria, house mites, pollen and pet fur, particularly benefiting individuals who have allergies and respiratory problems.
Did you know that you can keep fleas off your dog with Air Conditioning? Air conditioning filters are more effective in keeping bugs out than an open window. This not only protects you (and your pets!) but it keeps your house cleaner.
The AC should have an adjustable thermostat (temperature setting) and at least two cooling speeds, and a minimum of two fan speeds as you may want to use variable speeds for different times of the day. An energy efficient setting will be a beneficial addition as it helps in saving energy while providing optimum cooling.
Air Conditioners come with star rated energy efficiency ratings; also called EER, which has been standardised by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). Therefore, any unit with more stars will consume lesser electricity than one with a lower star rating.
