Summer is approaching, and the season brings high humidity and temperatures. Air conditioning is necessary to stay cool and comfortable indoors, but there are other reasons why having an AC unit is beneficial for you and your business.

Benefits of Air Conditioning in Your Business

1. Saves Money

To compensate for the warm weather, cooling appliances, like the break room refrigerator, work harder when it’s hot. Avoid costly repairs from overworking your appliances and extend their lives by maintaining a cool indoor temperature. Hot temperatures also damage company computers and printers, and they can slow down, shut off, or experience permanent damage if they overheat.

Solar-powered HVAC systems may be eligible for tax credits. If you’re considering an AC installation, find out whether a photovoltaic system makes sense for your situation and if there are federal or state incentives for new panels.

2. Keeps Employees Healthy

The filter on your air conditioner or HVAC unit is an important part of indoor air quality, especially if one of your employees has allergies or asthma. Invest in HEPA filters, which remove allergens, like pollen, dust, and pet dander, from the HVAC system and change filters every 30-60 days.

If your employees are allowed to bring their pets to work, their furry friends might be at risk. Like humans, cats and dogs are affected by the heat, especially older animals. Installing an air conditioning unit in the office will regulate the temperature and keep pets from experiencing heat stroke or exhaustion.

3. Protects Your Office

Wooden desks and chairs warp in excessive temperatures and humidity. Leather and upholstery are susceptible to mold in humid climates, which can ruin the furniture and cause health issues, such as congestion, headaches, and respiratory issues. Additionally, if your building has an air conditioning unit, you won’t need to keep screens, windows, and doors open. Protect your office from the outdoors to prevent insects from entering and causing infestations.
