Why Air Conditioning Maintenance Is Important For Nursing Homes
Nicole Jacobs
Though HVAC systems are incredibly important in homes and businesses, they are that much more crucial for nursing homes. HVAC systems are responsible for keeping spaces comfortable and cool throughout the summer and comfortable and warm throughout the winter, but they are play a role in air circulation and indoor air quality. For residents of nursing homes, this can have a significant impact on their overall health. Keep reading to learn a few ways that air conditioning maintenance can ensure seniors in nursing homes remain safe and comfortable.
Clean Indoor Air
When an HVAC system is functioning properly, it will help to eliminate indoor air pollution that has the potential to lead to problems in individuals. Some of these adverse side effects include eye irritation, dizziness, headaches, as well as respiratory issues. During routine air conditioning maintenance, a technician will change the AC filters and thoroughly clean the ducts to remove potential accumulates of dust, debris, and mold, which may be impacting the system's performance.
Maintain a Consistent Temperature
For seniors, heat can be a significant problem. The body is able to cool itself off by pumping excess blood to the skin when the temperatures are warmer. This makes the heart work harder attempting to push blood through the vessels that do not dilate as easily as they previously did. In addition, seniors do not produce as much sweat, which is another way that your body is able to regulate temperature naturally.
Ensuring that nursing homes remain cool during the summer is not only important for comfort but also for the well-being of all of the facility's residents. By staying on top of air conditioning maintenance, it is possible to prevent potential breakdowns that can place elderly residents at risk of overheating.
Save Money
Routine air conditioning maintenance helps to ensure that your system continues to run efficiently, and in turn, you will experience savings on your monthly utility bills. When there are issues with the facility's HVAC system, the system will work harder to try to keep the facility cool and comfortable, causing it to use more energy, which will result in higher energy costs each month.
