1. It’s literally a lifesaver

An Environmental Protection Agency study of heat-related deaths.

Therefore many more deaths have heat as a contributing factor, but not the main cause.

Keeping cool with an efficient air conditioner is the best means of preventing heat-related deaths and illnesses.

2. Better air quality

Air conditioners circulate and filter air.

Therefore removing pollutants and mold from the air.

3. Fewer insects and parasites

These filters also keep out insects and are far more effective than a screen in an open window.

4. Improved workforce efficiency

We’ve all experienced the mental sluggishness that comes with a day that is just too hot.

There’s actually a scientific basis for this.

5. Cooler tempers

It’s not just our brains that suffer from the heat either.

When the mercury rises so do tempers.

6. Easier sleep

Those same physical changes

– Higher heart rate and blood pressure

– Also make it next to impossible to get a good night’s sleep.

7. Protects furniture

Heat, and especially the humidity that often accompanies it.

This can also wreak havoc on furniture of all kinds.

8. Prevents electronic devices from overheating

Almost as scary as the effects of heat and humidity.

9. Better security

They’re even worse at keeping out unwanted people.

Depending on where you live or work, an insecure window or door simply isn’t safe.

10. Fewer sweat stains

This pales in comparison to many of the other issues, but the heat can be murder on your clothes.
