To Air-Condition Your Home

To air-condition your housing was formerly regarded as a luxury. Notice that it was the same for cars. Indeed, the manufacturers of vehicles these days propose air-conditioning on the majority of their models, even of line entry. But what about air-conditioning in homes these days?

First of all, it should be known that the human body is able to resist large variations in temperature in condition of course that the body is able to get sufficient amounts of rest in between strong temperature variations. Take for example the heat wave of 2003 in Europe, why have so many people died in the small span of a few weeks only? Because not only were the days very hot but especially because the temperature at night did not go down sufficiently to make it possible for the body to rest because heat tires the body very much. Obviously it was the people who were most fragile that fell victim to these strong heats, i.e. the elderly or hospital patients.

Let us note that in 2006, even if the heat waves were less strong, the organizations of health monitoring and the hospitals were in alert much earlier than they were 3 years ago, which made it possible to limit the number of victims.

Air-conditioning at home is thus a need to counter possible rises in temperatures. It is also a rampart against certain respiratory diseases or allergies. Indeed, air-conditioners, whether they are in fixed or mobile installation, ensure for the majority the function of dehumidifying and purifying the air. Certain apparatuses are used besides only for these functions. Moisture in the air is a big factor in our daily life. A normal level is of 50% and when this figure goes higher, it supports the arrival of bacteria or even of insects and can cause respiratory diseases and allergies.

The prices have fallen considerably for a few years, especially since 2003 and it is not by chance. If you wish to equip your housing there exists several solutions, such as the cast solid air-conditioner (interesting if one is a tenant or if one does not want it during the winter) or with the reversible fixed installation (heat and cold), the latter giving access to you a tax credit thanks to the law on the heat pumps.

Air-conditioning has also a beneficial effect on our health and when the weather is too hot we have so much more of a difficult time working (even with office) and sleeping. Heat tends to irritate us, to aggravate us and to even cause anguishes and stress.

Lastly, the old air-conditioners were harmful with the environment simply because of the use of some gases. These gases are now prohibited and manufacturers of the fixed or mobile air-conditioners build apparatuses in connection with the European standards in force and which thus make it possible to protect the environment while ensuring our wellbeing.
