When it comes to summer heat, the blazing temperatures can make an impact on a person’s quality of life – especially when a heat wave strikes. While many people still might think of air conditioning as a luxury they can do without, it is in fact quite affordable – and beneficial – nowadays.

There are many health benefits to having an air conditioner, and it is possible to run an air conditioner in a way that can save you money during the hotter months!

Here are a few other things to consider:

•  Extreme heat has a clear negative impact on the intellect – this could be why workers tend to have better job performances in an environment that is cooled.
• Air conditioning improves overall comfort levels – if your body is constantly working to cool down, this can be uncomfortable and draining.
• Improved physical activity – need to reorganize your basement? You might burn out a lot faster if you’re working against the heat. Air conditioning can help!
• A lower temperature in the home reduces the risk of parasites and insects – with heat comes the spreading of unwanted parasites and viruses. Cooling the home can be an effective way to minimize this.
• Filtration – we mentioned this in the health benefits post but we cannot stress this enough – air conditioning really renews and improves the quality of air as it works to exclude external allergens in the home! Say goodbye to those spring allergies when you’re indoors.
• Lower temperatures also reduce the risk of dehydration – we all know that feeling when our throats are dry, fatigue has set in, we have a headache, and it feels impossible to renew ourselves even after drinking water. Air conditioning will help you make sure you don’t get to that point of dehydration – and you can do the rest by drinking lots of water!

Cooling your home is now more realistic and affordable than ever, and with the latest technologies, you’ll be saving money – and the environment. Learn more about our air conditioning services and contact JPS Furnace & Air Conditioning today!
