Although Florida enjoys relatively cool summers, the state is not completely scot-free from sporadic heat waves. In a report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the summer of 2018 ranked 4th hottest on record for the United States with blistering temperatures for the Southwest and Northeast. In fact, a recent article by Good Housekeeping, the Farmer’s Almanac released a forecast that this summer is going to be extra sweltering, rainy, muggy, and humid summer in many areas of the United States. In the midwest and central US, it will be both warm and stormy with thunderstorms and hail.
With these weather predictions and erratic changes affecting our cities in Florida, it is the perfect time to install heating and air conditioning. Here are 5 reasons why you should invest in a good central air conditioning system in your home in the coming warmer months.
1. A/C will save your life
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staying cool with air conditioning is one of the best ways to prevent heat-related deaths and illnesses, especially among children and elderly.

2. Air quality is cleaner
A/C units have the ability to circulate and filter air which can remove pollutants and molds from the air that we breathe inside the room. If your system is well-maintained with clean filters that are regularly changed, the air conditioner can minimize irritants that cause allergies and asthma. However if it’s dirty then your A/C will accumulate dust and contribute to dirty air.
3. It is easier to sleep
Hot weather and temperatures can cause higher heart rates and blood pressure which makes sleep difficult. Maintaining an ideal core body temperature which is not too hot nor too cold can enable a very sound sleep at night.
4. Maintains furniture quality
Heat and humidity can cause damage to furniture. Moisture in the air can cause wood to warp, leather to rot and fabric to hold because of the damp environments. If you want to protect your furniture from temperature changes, contact a heating and air conditioning company near you.
5. Avoiding electronics overheating
Too much heat can also damage electronic devices like phones and computers. If you have computer servers, these must be kept cool at all times.
