5 advantages of air conditioners you should know about

With an air conditioner, you can be on a quick and efficient way control the indoor temperature to your liking. Here, the best-known advantage of an air conditioner - of course - is cooling. On hot summer days, you no longer have to puff, because by means of a heat pump, an air conditioner makes and keeps your room nice and fresh.

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. In fact, an environment that is too hot or too cold can lead to restless sleep, while a comfortable temperature is just conducive to a good night's sleep.
• In addition, an air conditioner in a desk space or office will give you increase productivity. Indeed, studies have shown that working in a room with a pleasant indoor temperature leads to a higher ability to concentrate.
• 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 home after a hot day can help reduce your stress. Or are you hosting guests out, they will feel more comfortable and welcome in a comfortable cooled environment more quickly.
• Air conditioning further provides a stable temperature, which is also beneficial for electronic devices such as computers, televisions and kitchen appliances.

A second benefit of an air conditioner relates to the purify 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.

In fact, a modern air conditioner provides:

• Continuous air circulation: fresh air is supplied, while hot and humid air is exhausted.
• Lower humidity: This helps to prevent mold and condensation.
• Less reliance on open windows: ideal for noise, pollen or safety concerns.

This improved ventilation has several benefits:

• Your home feels fresher and more comfortable The air quality improves, which is positive for your health.
• Furniture, paintwork and floors stay better protected from moisture You avoid structural damage in the long run

In short: a well-functioning air conditioner not only contributes to cooling, but also helps to keep your home in good condition as well as increase your living comfort all year round.

We sometimes hear that an air conditioner would be a big energy guzzler. This is actually not true at all. Of course an air conditioner consumes energy, but this is similar 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
• Reduced humidity
• Stress reduction

Zoals bij alles horen er bij pluspunten ook minpunten.

• For example, most air conditioners are not entirely silent and you often have to take a somewhat put a higher amount on the table before 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.
