If you are considering purchasing an air conditioner for the first time or are looking for an alternative to replace your current one, read on. You will find this information useful.
According to the National Statistical Institute, in 2022, over 50% of Bulgarians will use air conditioning. Unfortunately, however, a number of experts are warning about the negative consequences of their use, especially in the context of a viral pandemic. Here are the main reasons why air conditioners are considered dangerous.
Air conditioners promote the spread of bacteria and mold in your home!
Air conditioners can be a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. Moisture from condensation accumulates in the coils and vents of the fan when cold air circulates through the unit. If not thoroughly and regularly removed, mold and fungi accumulate and spread into the air while the air conditioner is running.
These microorganisms can cause a number of respiratory problems, including pneumonia and severe lung inflammation caused by a bacterium known as Legionella.
Air conditioners dry out the air in the room!
In rooms with air conditioning, the air becomes dry, which reduces the protective ability of the body’s mucous membranes. This, in turn, causes discomfort. People become more vulnerable to infections.
Sudden temperature changes when going outside and entering a room with air conditioning can cause blood vessel spasms and exacerbate chronic respiratory diseases.
Air conditioners exacerbate sick building syndrome!
Air conditioners exacerbate sick building syndrome, which manifests itself in various conditions caused by time spent in a particular indoor environment. Sick building syndrome is detected when the occupants of a building experience a combination of common symptoms that cause discomfort and poor health.
Symptoms may include dizziness, dry throat, itchy eyes, and nausea. A study found that “air-conditioned” buildings typically have a higher prevalence of symptoms than naturally ventilated buildings.
Domestic gas installation: The smart alternative to heating with air conditioners
Unlike air conditioners, home gas installations are:
– safe
We offer various sizes of domestic tanks that comply with the highest quality and safety standards. Unlike heating a room with air conditioning, using a domestic tank is faster and does not allow stagnant air to circulate.
– more environmentally friendly
Air conditioners send heat outside, intensifying the effect of “heat islands in urban environments,” which makes cities warmer than other places. The use of LPG for domestic purposes ensures environmentally friendly energy consumption.
– more economical
When using a domestic gas installation, household electricity bills are halved compared to heating with air conditioning.
– completely silent
Unlike the constant noise of air conditioners, heating your home with LPG is completely silent and does not disturb the peace and quiet of your home.
Make the right choice now and contact the experts at V-Gas to request a domestic gas installation.
