Every year we get to celebrate National Air Conditioning Appreciation Days. It's not just a big opportunity for HVAC and air conditioning companies to market their services and products. Lack of air conditioning during hot spells and heat waves is physically dangerous.
Air conditioning, invented in 1932, has become a necessity of life for those who can afford it. Heat stroke, heat rash, heat edema, heat cramps, dehydration, and heat exhaustion are all illnesses due to exposure to prolonged excessive heat and humidity. Heat related deaths happen more than all other serious weather phenomenon such as hurricanes, tornadoes and lightning.
Older adults, very young children, and those who are sick or overweight are at a higher risk for heat-related illness. According to the Agency for Health care Research and Quality, about 6,200 Americans are hospitalized each summer due to complications from excessive heat.
The planet has experienced more heat waves in the 21st century than any other time period. Consider the European heat wave of 2003, where almost 35,000 deaths occurred as a result of heat related illnesses. Heat temperature records were broken in the Eastern part of the United States in July 2010. In the light of these extreme temperatures, 83% of American homes have air conditioning.
When are the best times to appreciate an air conditioner?
When you hate being hot anywhere you go
When using a fan in ninety-degree weather doesn't cool down you or your house. It only circulates hot air
When the humidity is high and oppressive at 60% and above
When you first come inside from a sweltering heat, and the cool air hits you in the face
If you work at home
