Portable Air Conditioning Provides Alternative Heat Source In A Compact Unit

Dec. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- This time of the year it becomes very cold, and everyone feels it, especially the elderly, with utility bills rising almost on a daily basis, many people cannot afford to heat their homes, but did you know that portable air conditioning units offer heating as well as cooling and are available in very compact units.
The simple fact that they can be moved around the home lends itself to an ideal solution especially for the elderly, who can sit in one room and have a portable air conditioner that will serve them in the summer and winter, and the best thing about these units is they can be moved from area to area wherever one is either sitting or working.
These units will serve in the summer when people suffer from heat induced illnesses when the body’s temperature control system is overwhelmed by extreme heat.  Most people know that the body will cool itself down by sweating, but older people have fewer sweat glands and as a result they sweat less, their bodies can heat up much more rapidly and becomes a danger whether indoors or outdoors, but portable air conditioners can help to keep old people cool and safe.
Portable air conditioning units can cool down a room in seconds, and will reduce body temperature, and this can be crucial for the elderly during the summer months, and will help with heat exhaustion and heat stroke, there are others that may be more at risk for example infants, people who are overweight, and people who have ill health.
Humidity is another element that impacts on how the body manages to cool itself, when the humidity is high, because sweat will hot evaporate as quickly, will prevent the body from releasing heat, thus there is a high risk of heat stroke.
There are many conditions that will limit the body to regulate temperature, such as obesity, dehydration, heart disease, mental illness, poor circulation, sunburn, drug use and old age and especially for the elderly high humidity and intense heat makes a dangerous combination.
The technology of today has made it possible for portable air conditioning to switch to heat mode and offer cost effective heating, and the portables are a cheaper alternative to fully installed systems, it is efficient to run, easy to use and requires no installation and more importantly it can be used in any room in the house.
