5 advantages of air conditioners you should know about

With an air conditioner, you can quickly and efficiently adjust the indoor temperature to your liking. The most well-known advantage of an air conditioner is, of course, cooling. On hot summer days, you no longer have to sweat, as an air conditioner with a heat pump makes and keeps your room pleasantly cool.

But did you know that an air conditioner can also heat a room? The same heat pump inside the air conditioner can efficiently heat your room, so you don’t have to shiver during the winter. Because an air conditioner can both cool and heat, it is an ideal solution for all seasons, allowing you to enjoy a comfortable indoor temperature at any time.

This temperature control not only enhances your comfort but also contributes to other aspects:

• Better sleep quality. An environment that is too hot or too cold can lead to restless sleep, while a comfortable temperature promotes a good night's rest.
• Additionally, an air conditioner in an office or workspace can increase your productivity. Studies have shown that working in a room with a pleasant indoor temperature leads to better concentration.
• Less food spoilage. Especially during long periods of high temperatures, air conditioning helps prevent food from spoiling quickly.
• Less stress: Coming home to a pleasantly cool house after a hot day can help reduce your stress. Or, if you're hosting guests, they will feel more at ease and welcome in a comfortably cooled environment.
• Air conditioning also ensures a stable temperature, which is beneficial for electronic devices such as computers, televisions, and kitchen appliances.

A second benefit of an air conditioner is related to purifying your indoor air.

• Modern air conditioning systems, such as the Innova or AeroComfort monoblock air conditioners, are equipped with filters that purify the air of dust, pollen, allergens, and other pollutants.
• Even the smallest dust particles don’t stand a chance.
• Additionally, with an air conditioner, you can better control the humidity.
• It easily extracts moisture from the air, which significantly improves indoor air quality.
• This also has health benefits, as an air conditioner helps reduce allergies and asthma symptoms.

If you notice that condensation forms easily in your home or that there are moisture problems, an air conditioning system can help improve ventilation.

• This way, fresh air is continuously supplied without the need to open a window each time.
• This not only has health benefits but can also improve the condition of your home.

We sometimes hear that an air conditioner is a big energy guzzler. This is actually not true at all. Of course, an air conditioner consumes energy, but this is comparable to the energy consumption of other appliances, such as a refrigerator or washing machine.

• An air conditioner typically contains a heat pump that uses the heat from the outside air as its source. This is not only more efficient but also much more environmentally friendly.
• An air conditioner typically consumes only 1 kilowatt of energy to generate 3 kilowatts of cooling (or heating).
• Moreover, most high-quality air conditioners today have a green energy label, meaning they are either energy-efficient or very energy-efficient.
• A home equipped with energy-efficient air conditioning appeals more to potential buyers, which increases the overall value of the property.

A final benefit of air conditioners that we’d like to highlight is their lifespan. When properly maintained, an air conditioner is an investment that can provide years of enjoyment, as a well-maintained air conditioner can easily last 15 years. To extend the lifespan of your air conditioner, here are some tips:

• Have your air conditioner checked annually by a certified air conditioning installer.
• Ensure that the temperature difference between the outside and inside is not too high. A difference of 6°C is ideal.
• Try to keep the humidity in your spaces between 60% and 70%.

Here is a summary of all the benefits of an air conditioner:

• Cooling
• Better sleep
• Higher air quality
• Increased productivity
• Protection of equipment
• Less food spoilage
• Increased property value
• Hospitality
• Reduced humidity
• Stress reduction

Zoals bij alles horen er bij pluspunten ook minpunten.

• For instance, most air conditioners are not completely silent and you often have to pay a relatively high amount for the purchase.
• However, we must state that these (limited) disadvantages do not outweigh the reliability, high comfort, and durability of a air conditioner without an external unit.
