You might think that living in the UK means that an air conditioning unit is not something that you should buy. After all, with rainfall on approximately 133 days of the year and grey clouds blotting out the sun for most of the rest of them, we’re more likely to prioritise umbrellas and radiators only for air conditioning units, which many see as useful for only a handful of warm days during the summer. However, despite these preconceptions, there are many reasons why it is worth buying an air conditioning unit in the UK, a few of which we have outlined for you below:
- Improved air quality
Air conditioning units help to circulate the flow of air in our homes and remove pollutants from the air that we breathe. This is beneficial for everyone, especially those with respiratory issues such as allergies or asthma.
- Reduced illness risk
Over recent years the number of heat-related illnesses and deaths in the UK has increased, because of poor ventilation in homes and buildings - either through a complete lack of air conditioning at all or by using AC units that are not regularly maintained and cleaned, so get clogged and therefore circulate dirty air and pollutants. Many air conditioning units, from brands such as AllAir, are affordable and offer lifetime repair and parts guarantees so you can keep your AC unit running at maximum cleanliness and efficiency for years while reducing your risk of heat-induced ill health.
- Reduced dehydration risk
Warm days cause you to sweat more, which means you expel more water from your body and become dehydrated faster. This is why it is important to drink more water than usual in hotter weather. Air conditioners help circulate air and moisture, which keep you cool and cause you to sweat less, so your body retains more water, and you dehydrate at a much slower rate.
- Improved sleep
Getting restful sleep is one of the hardest parts of hot weather but using an air conditioning unit helps keep your room at a comfortable temperature so you can drift off easily. Portable AC units, such as those at AllAir, are great for this, as they can be moved between rooms depending on your needs and can be positioned as needed to cool and keep your room cool while you sleep.
- Protected household items
As so much of our lives are online these days, air conditioning units can be incredibly useful to keep your electronics cool as much as they keep you cool, and therefore mean that technologies work as efficiently as they would at average or lower temperatures, rather than overheating and becoming slow, unresponsive, or breaking completely.
These are just a few of the key reasons why you should buy an air conditioning unit like those from All Air, even living in the UK - despite the relative scarcity of warm days, in the long run, it will save you money, save your sleep, and maybe even save your life.
