The Health Benefits of Air Conditioning

We all understand the comforts that air conditioning can provide during those hot summer days. But often we forget about the health benefits that Fujitsu air conditioning brings to the home. Here are a few of the health benefits Fujitsu air conditioning Perth can provide for your family.

Controlling Humidity

High humidity can make those hot summer days feel even hotter and uncomfortable. Australia experiences a lot of humid days which not only impacts a person’s comfort, but can also have an effect on health.

Indoor humidity is recommended to remain between 30% and 50%, levels higher than this can be unhealthy for building occupants. High humidity causes increased moisture in your home and can result in the growth of mould and mildew, or become a breeding ground for allergens such as dust mites. This can affect sensitive people by causing a range of allergens and be a trigger for asthma.

Mould, mildew and dust mites are common allergy triggers and thrive in a humid environment. Family members who suffer from asthma or allergies may find humidity aggravates their symptoms, and even healthy people can experience problems. Common symptoms that these allergens can cause include:

• Watery and itchy eyes
• Sneezing and wheezing
• Breathing issues
• Stuffy nose
• Effects on immunity
• Rashes

As most of us know, high humidity affects comfort as well. Humid conditions prevent sweat from evaporating quickly, and this doesn’t allow the body to cool effectively. This is why a humid day feels much hotter than a dry day at the same temperature.

Having an air conditioner which provides a good dehumidifying function will benefit your home in many ways. Not only by improving comfort levels, but also by maintaining a clean and healthy indoor environment which is particularly beneficial for those with a predisposition to allergies or asthma.

Clean Air

For people who are sensitive to dust particles, or have respiratory problems which are aggravated by breathing polluted air, an air conditioner can improve air quality by removing particles and circulating fresh clean air. This can greatly improve the comfort and health of the building occupants, particularly those who are sensitive to dirty air.

If dirty air is entering your home, it’s not only annoying, but it creates an environment which may cause health problems for you and your family. Allergens in the air can result in symptoms such as fatigue, coughing, wheezing, headaches and itchy eyes. An air conditioner can do a great job at filtering out these airborne allergens and particles to maintain a clean and fresh air supply for you and your family.

It’s very important however, to maintain your air conditioners filters by keeping them clean. Dirty filters will not only affect the air quality, but will also affect the efficiency of your air conditioning system, making it more costly to run and affecting its performance.

Maintaining Body Temperature

A reliable air conditioner can benefit many people with health issues which cause heat intolerance, for example multiple sclerosis (MS). Heat intolerance is a significant issue for those with MS, and even a slight temperature increase can severely aggravate symptoms.

There are other many chronic health conditions which cause heat sensitivity which benefit from a reliable air conditioner. Also, elderly people are more prone to heat intolerance, which can have negative impacts on their health. A good air conditioner can be essential to maintaining a comfortable body temperature for anyone who suffers from a heat intolerance.
