It is becoming more and more necessary to have an air conditioning system in your home and work environment.

Many factors (such as global warming and air pollution) contribute to us being surrounded by unhealthy air which can affect our health in many ways. 


If you’re in doubt about having air conditioning in your home or office, read the list below to find out the many benefits:


1. Better air quality

Air conditioning systems circulate and filter the air, removing pollutants and mould to create a more optimum environment. Dust and bacteria in the air can promote coughs, colds, fatigue and headaches. 


2. Improved productivity

It’s simple really, with a more comfortable environment, the more contented we are and the clearer our minds will be! This is beneficial for both our home and work life.


3. Reduced humidity

High humidity encourages dust mites, mould, heatstroke and dehydration. The damper the home, the unhealthier the living conditions.


4. Reduced Asthma Attacks

A/C systems filter dirty air which lowers the levels of pollen, mould, mildew, dust mites and other allergens building up that can lead to asthma attacks.


5. Improved sleep

We actually sleep better in cooler conditions, so when the warmer months approach, having a system to control the temperature is ideal. 


6. Reduced noise

We are more likely to keep the doors closed when there is an A/C in the room, therefore keeping it cool and quiet. 


7. Less insects/ parasites

A/C is effective in keeping bugs at bay because they desire a warmer climate. If your body temperature is cooler, you are less desirable to mosquitos. Not only does air conditioning protect you, but also keeps your house clean from bugs. 


8. Reduced risk of dehydration and heat stroke

Overheating due to the surrounding temperature can be prevented by air conditioning. The cool air lowers body temperature and reduces sweating.


9. Reduces odours

A/C keeps the smells from dirty air, cleaning chemicals or rotten food at bay by filtering it out with clean air. This also improves your health by avoiding chemicals in the air you breath. 


10. Improves mood

Being able to control and maintain the temperature of the room will keep you cool when it's warm outside, and cosy and warm in the colder months. Overall, this will make for a happier, more comfortable you.


So, if you were ever in doubt, it’s safe to say that investing in an air conditioning system will benefit your health in so many ways.

TOP TIPS TO KEEP COOL IN A HEATWAVE

By Giuliana Kinnerly • 20 Jul, 2023
As the UK dips in and out of some serious heat waves this summer, and most people don't have the luxury of owning air conditioning in their home or office, we wanted to share some top tips to help keep you cool and safe in the heat... 1. Stay shaded Avoid being outside in the direct sun if possible (especially with young kids and animals) and keep indoors or in the shade where you can. 2. Stay hydrated It's simple but SO important - water, soft drinks, lollies keep you hydrated and cool you down. 3. Block out the sun Keep blinds or curtains closed as much as you can to help keep the room cool and only open the window when the temperature drops. If it's really hot outside then opening the window will only let the warm air in. 4. Dress accordingly Too many layers will make you feel even hotter. Wear light colours made from breathable, cotton material. 5. Have a quick dip Have a nice luke warm bath or shower before bed as it will help the body cool down naturally allowing you to sleep more comfortably. Having a paddling pool in the garden or quick dip in a cool shower will also cool you down throughout the day. 6. Invest in a decent fan There are many different types of fans out that will help cool you down and keep air moving round the room. You can also place it by an open window facing out to direct the warm air out of the window. 7. If you have a baby... DO NOT place muslins or blankets over prams. This is such a common thing to do and yet SO DANGEROUS! Instead of keeping your baby cool and shaded, this will actually create a greenhouse effect and build up dangerous levels of heat inside the pram. Instead, use a clip on parasol/ sunshade with open sides to allow ventilation throughout. Always be checking on baby and in temperatures over 26 degrees aim to keep any time outside in the pram to a minimum. If you have a young baby, place a thin muslin between you and baby's skin when holding, cuddling or feeding to prevent overheating. This will keep you both cool and comfortable. 8.

OFFICE INSTALL TRAVIS PERKINS

By D & G Air Conditioning • 20 Oct, 2022
We recently completed another job for Travis Perkins, this time in their newly renovated offices in Swindon. We were asked to provide a heating/cooling system to regulate their new workplace which included a breakout area, boardroom, Managing Director's office and PA's office. We supplied and installed a 14kW twin system to the large boardroom, two 7kW split systems to the breakout area and MD office, and a 3.5kW split system to the PA office. We fitted compact ceiling cassettes in the centre of each room to achieve a wider cooling range. The wind-free systems we installed effectively maintains a comfortable level of coolness without the unpleasant feeling of a cold draft - an issue for many employees. Some outdoor units were mounted at high level due to access issues below. We also fitted drip trays and condensate drains to stop any condensate icing on the path below in cold ambient temperatures.
