To say that a comfortable home environment just makes you feel better in your own
skin isn’t terribly profound, but it’s a point easy to overlook. Because while your first
reaction may be: “Of course I feel better when my heating and cooling systems work just right,”
it can cause you to look past some important considerations.

For starters, what exactly does it mean to feel better physically with the right indoor
climate? For one thing, it helps you digest food better. Cooling systems prevent
overheating, dehydration, and heat stroke. Heating systems, on the other hand,
obliterate the risk of hypothermia and the kind of physical and mental stress that comes from
shivering.

Mental and Emotional Effects of Conditioned Air

Temperature has a significant impact on your mood and productivity, too. When it’s hot
and sticky indoors, for example, how much do you feel like cooking or cleaning? Are
you up for a “relaxing” game of Monopoly? Ready to put in a few hours of work from
your home office?

On the other hand, inside a well air-conditioned home, studies show that people
tend to feel more alert, focused, and less irritable. Cooler temperatures can increase
concentration, while overly warm rooms may lead to sluggishness and decreased
performance. If you’ve ever struggled to stay awake during a meeting in a stuffy room,
you know the feeling.

Conditioned air also gives you a sense of control. Because when your heating and
cooling systems are working properly, you can adjust temperatures throughout your
home – or one zone at a time – with a simple thermostat adjustment.

Conditioned Air Helps You Sleep Better

Conditioned air that keeps a bedroom cool—ideally between 60-67° F—can help the
body maintain its natural sleep rhythm. Conversely, rooms that are too hot or cold can
lead to restless sleep, frequent waking, and lower sleep quality.

Why Your Heating & Cooling Systems Need Preventive Maintenance

Unless you live in a tent or igloo, your home has a heating system. That’s one form of
conditioned air. The other is air conditioning. According to AI, two-thirds of American
homes have central air conditioning. But even if you have both heating and cooling
systems in your home, that doesn’t mean they’re working up to par.
