Can Air Conditioning help to relieve the symptoms of asthma and allergies?

As we slide into Summer and the UK can finally enjoy the warmer weather. Sadly the temperature isn’t the only thing rising as hay fever season starts!

May is Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month with 7th May being World Asthma Day. Which got us thinking how having home Air Conditioning can help to alleviate symptoms of these while providing the perfect temperature all year round.

Although there are multiple allergens and triggers for Asthma, here are some of the most common airborne allergens which air conditioning can help with:

*Common Allergens:

  • Grass and Tree Pollen – an allergy to these is known as Hay Fever or Allergic Rhinitis.
  • Dust Mites – this is an allergic reaction to the dander produced by the dust mites
  • Animal Dander – Flakes of skin or hair from a cat, dog or small pet.
  • Mould – Mould releases small particles into the air that you can breathe in.
  • Household Chemicals – such as detergents and hair dyes.

Summer heat is also no blessing for people with asthma. This condition often aggravated by environmental factors such as humidity and temperature variations. These factors should therefore be controlled as much as possible. Which is made easier with home air conditioning.

Contrary to popular belief, air conditioning can be a real help for asthmatics.*
