Although Florida enjoys relatively cool summers, the state is not completely free from sporadic heat waves. In a report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the summer of 2018 ranked fourth hottest on record for the United States, with blistering temperatures across the Southwest and Northeast. In fact, in a recent article by Good Housekeeping, the Farmer’s Almanac released a forecast predicting an especially sweltering, rainy, muggy, and humid summer in many areas of the United States. In the Midwest and central U.S., conditions are expected to be warm and stormy, with thunderstorms and hail.
With these weather predictions and erratic changes affecting cities in Florida, it is the perfect time to install heating and air conditioning. Here are five reasons to invest in a good central air conditioning system in the home during the coming warmer months.
1. A/C will save lives
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, staying cool with air conditioning is one of the best ways to prevent heat-related deaths and illnesses, especially among children and the elderly.
2. Air quality is cleaner
A/C units have the ability to circulate and filter air, which can remove pollutants and mold from the air breathed inside the room. If the system is well maintained with clean filters that are regularly changed, the air conditioner can minimize irritants that cause allergies and asthma. However, if it is dirty, the A/C will accumulate dust and contribute to poor air quality.
3. It is easier to sleep
Hot weather and high temperatures can cause higher heart rates and blood pressure, which makes sleep difficult. Maintaining an ideal core body temperature that is neither too hot nor too cold can enable a sound night of sleep.
4. Furniture quality is maintained
Heat and humidity can damage furniture. Moisture in the air can cause wood to warp, leather to rot, and fabric to hold moisture in damp environments. To help protect furniture from temperature changes, contact a heating and air conditioning company nearby.
5. Electronics are protected from overheating
Too much heat can also damage electronic devices like phones and computers. Computer servers must be kept cool at all times.
