Florida Air Conditioning Installation Service

While there is no law mandating that you have air conditioning in a residential space, it can be extremely dangerous to live in Florida without air conditioning, depending on the time of year. Air conditioning is important year round with the subtropical Florida climate, but it is a greater health risk during the summer. Living without air conditioning can lead to several negative outcomes, and in some cases, it has even led to death.

Being exposed to extreme heat for extended periods of time can result in mental health issues and other physical health issues. For instance, the heat can intensify cardiovascular conditions. If you have an existing heart condition, heat waves can exacerbate the issue and potentially lead to cardiac arrest. Living without air conditioning during a heatwave can also cause severe respiratory issues due to the combination of humidity with dust and allergens.

Your AC Service Needs Taken Care of with Key Heating & Cooling

While some do their best to get by without air conditioning through alternative cooling methods like cold showers, the use of box or ceiling fans, and closing all curtains and blinds, these methods can do very little to combat the heat and humidity of a Florida summer. Air conditioning is highly encouraged in order to maintain a happy, healthy lifestyle.
