Business owners often debate the pros and cons of air conditioning. When the hot weather arrives, air con seems like a no brainer – an investment in the comfort of your staff and the condition of your work premises.
But should you get air conditioning for your business? Read on to find out the reasons why most businesses get commercial air conditioning installed on their premises.
1. Improve staff and visitor comfort
Air conditioning is designed to keep your building cool during even the hottest months. Not only this, it keeps your hardworking staff and any visitors to your premises cool too.
This is especially important in busy, hot environments like factories and warehouses, where machinery can send indoor temperatures skyrocketing. Too much heat can be detrimental to people’s concentration and comfort; and, in extreme temperatures, heatstroke. This is due to the heat making it difficult for the body to regulate its temperature.
With commercial air conditioning, interior temperatures can be regulated at a comfortable, safe level even when the sun rages outside.
2. Better air quality
Air conditioners have filters that catch dust and pollen in the air, which can help increase airflow quality. They filter out allergens that can be detrimental to people’s health, to create a much healthier atmosphere. Additionally, given that the windows will be kept closed while the air conditioning is on, you will keep pollen particles out that can trigger allergies.
When filters get too clogged with dust, it could have the opposite effect as the particles are circulated around your air-con system. Always ensure you check the filters regularly, and keep your air conditioning well maintained to ensure consistent air quality.
3. Consistent temperature
The UK summer can be incredibly unpredictable; one moment it’s pouring with rain and you wonder if you’ll ever see the sun again, the next it’s dazzling sunshine and the temperature is climbing into the thirties.
With commercial air conditioning, the temperature of your premises can be set to a specific level, keeping the workplace at a constant, comfortable temperature – whatever the UK summer is doing outside.
This is especially useful in buildings like offices, where large windows and lots of computers raise the temperature massively on hot, sunny days.
