Why air conditioning is important for businesses

air conditioning

With summer coming up, it’s time to think about how to keep your business cool on long and hot days. To help you understand why air conditioning is important and the benefits of installing an air conditioning system, we’ve put together this handy guide. 

Why air conditioning is important

In summer, businesses can become hot and stuffy. This causes problems for staff members, visitors and customers alike. Thankfully, commercial air conditioning is a great solution. After all, commercial air conditioning can: 

  • Create a comfortable environment 
  • Reduce humidity 
  • Improve air quality 
  • Protect business critical equipment
  • Improve security 

The benefits of air conditioning for employees

A recent study by the Facilities Management Journal (FMJ) found that 29% of office workers are unable to work efficiently due to uncomfortable office temperatures. 6% said they lose more than 30 minutes a day of productive working time due to office temperatures not being conducive to working conditions.

However, hot temperatures don’t only affect office workers. In America, Cornell has found that there are clear associations between work performance and indoor environment conditions in all industries and sectors.

Due to this, it’s clear that in hot summer months commercial air conditioning can not only help make your staff members more comfortable, but it can also make them more productive. 

The benefits of air conditioning for customers

If you provide your customers with respite from the outside heat, they’re more likely to stay in your business for longer. Keeping your business cool in summer could cause your customers to order an extra drink at your bar or enjoy a more comfortable and relaxing stay at your hotel or spa. 

By keeping your business cool in summer, you can improve customer satisfaction levels, boost your revenue and encourage return business.  

At JLA, we provide a range of single room, split unit wall-mounted and ceiling-cassette air conditioning solutions. Keeping different areas of your business at the right temperature all year round can be tricky, but we can help. Talk to our experts today to discuss your air conditioning requirements. Whatever you need, we’ll take care of it.
