Though it may still seem far off yet, we are only a couple months away from the start of summer - yep, it’s creeping up on us already! As much as the warmth will be welcomed after the long, bitter winter we’ve just had, let’s not be too hasty to forget how horrendously humid and sticky our summers can get.


Remember those record high temperatures we saw last year? Well, according to predictions, we’re likely to be nearing those again this upcoming summer. Not only are these temperatures almost unbearable, but incredibly dangerous and life-threatening if you do not act accordingly. Thankfully, there is an effective solution to combat this and manage the heat: air conditioning.


Read on below to learn some of the most favourable ways a home aircon unit could benefit you and make our torturous summers much more bearable.


Tackle Humid UK Summer Heat

One thing in particular that makes the UK heat so unbearable is the humidity. Being a relatively small island that is completely surrounded by the sea, it’s no wonder that there is a lot of moisture in the UK air. In the summer, this means it’s incredibly humid, which is what creates that claustrophobic sticky heat.


Aircon units work by removing moisture from the air, which means they are incredibly effective at keeping the indoor humidity of your home at an acceptable quality whilst offering you respite from the heat and the clammy skin that comes with it.


Sneeze Less and Sleep Better

Air conditioning systems circulate and filter the air in your home, as such they improve the air’s overall purity and quality. Thanks to irritating particles and pollutants passing through these filters, sufferers of asthma and allergies such as hay fever - which is most prevalent during the summer - will be able to breathe much clearer with less risk of their symptoms being triggered.


Subsequently, these people will be able to get a much more relaxed and comfortable night’s sleep in the summer months, as will anyone with an air conditioner thanks to the clean air and cool temperatures. This is especially important, as consistently poor sleep can harm your mental and physical health in numerous ways.


Keep the Windows Closed

When you have the aircon on, you can keep the windows closed, which offers numerous benefits in and of itself. Firstly, keeping the windows closed reduces noise pollution both throughout the day and at night, especially for those living in urban areas where noise is prominent, allowing for a more undisturbed sleep. It also increases your home’s security, since you won’t have to worry about leaving your windows open at night in order to keep cool and risk an attempted break-in.


Finally, having the windows closed will stop annoying insects, flies, wasps etc. from being able to enter your home and cause inconvenience throughout the day and night.
