Why We Love Air Conditioning Appreciation Day

A

It keeps us cool!

There's nothing quite like the feeling of walking into a room on a hot summer day and feeling the refreshing chill of air conditioning. Air conditioning is essential for keeping our homes, workplaces, and cars comfortable during the hot months, so it only makes sense to appreciate it!

B

It helps reduce humidity

In addition to providing refreshingly cool air, air conditioners also help to reduce the humidity in your home. This can make the air more comfortable and help prevent mold and mildew from forming. Not to mention, it also helps with allergies caused by high levels of allergens or dust particles in the air!

C

Energy efficiency advancements

Modern air conditioners are much more energy efficient than those of even a few years ago. Advances in technology have made them more cost effective as well as environmentally friendly so that we can all enjoy lower bills even while keeping our homes cool.
