Heat can be a real challenge when trying to fall asleep during summer nights. The inability to rest properly can negatively impact our productivity and increase the risk of work-related or traffic accidents. To combat this issue, many turn to air conditioning to cool down the environment, but this leads to higher electricity bills. As a solution to this cost increase, Mitsubishi Electric offers highly energy-efficient units that are ideal for ensuring nighttime comfort.
Maintaining an Adequate Temperature
High temperatures can hinder nightly rest as our bodies need to lower their internal temperature for deep and continuous sleep. When the environment is hot, this process is hampered, leading to more frequent awakenings during the night. The National Sleep Foundation in the US states that the ideal temperature range for sleeping is between 60°F and 68°F, as it allows the body to rest without extra effort. To maintain this thermal stability, Mitsubishi Electric’s Inverter technology units adjust the compressor’s power, keeping a constant temperature and avoiding fluctuations that can disturb sleep. This system promotes a more comfortable environment conducive to restful sleep.
Units Designed for Comfort and Lower Consumption
Choosing units that provide comfort and are also efficient will result in significant savings on your bill. Some models include advanced smart functions like EconoCool, which automatically adjusts air distribution, delivering a comfortable feeling at slightly higher temperatures and reducing energy consumption by up to 20%. Mitsubishi Electric also highlights sensors like the 3D i-see Sensor, which detect temperature and human presence, automatically adjusting the air flow to avoid direct drafts on people sleeping, optimizing comfort, and further reducing energy consumption.
Features That Ensure Well-being
With the night mode, designed specifically for evenings, you can reduce energy consumption while you sleep. This allows for automatic adjustment of the temperature to an optimum level, avoids overcooling the room, reduces the fan speed to decrease noise, and improves sleep quality while optimizing energy use, as it prevents the unit from running at maximum power all night. Furthermore, features like Wi-Fi control integrated into the whole Mitsubishi Electric series allow users to turn on, turn off, or adjust the unit from their mobile phone, even before getting home, ensuring the bedroom is at the right temperature when it’s time to sleep. This is complemented by the ability to schedule operating times, allowing the air conditioner to automatically adjust to each household’s routine.
Air Quality Also Matters
Besides maintaining a pleasant temperature during the night, air conditioning units can also actively contribute to improving indoor air quality, a key factor for rest and respiratory health. Models like the MSZ-LN Kirigamine Style series from Mitsubishi Electric include the advanced Plasma Quad air filtering system as standard, capable of eliminating up to 99.8% of SARS-CoV-2, as well as bacteria, viruses, allergens like pollen, dust mites, odors, and particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns (PM2.5). This system, the only one in the market endorsed by the Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (SEAIC), is particularly recommended for people with allergies, asthma, or respiratory issues, making the air conditioner a true ally in ensuring a clean, healthy environment free from contaminants.
“The elderly, children, or those with chronic diseases are especially vulnerable to the negative effects of heat on sleep. The impact goes beyond just loss of rest, therefore, it is crucial to opt for solutions that not only cool the environment but also contribute to overall well-being with the highest energy efficiency and effectiveness,” the company explains.
