Posted by: [Tina Behnke](https://www.airpacinc.com/blog/author/tina-behnke) on Sep 24, 2010 Air conditioning is no longer a luxury.  It's a necessity.  Just walk into any data center or computer facility.  You need a sweater even in the summer!   [Spot coolers](https://www.airpacinc.com/portable-applications/) are used in every industry and application from [server room cooling](https://www.airpacinc.com/portable-applications/portable-air-conditioning-for-server-room-applications/) to [air conditioning special events](https://www.airpacinc.com/portable-applications/portable-air-conditioning-for-outdoor-events/).   ![Air Conditioning Saves Servers](https://www.airpacinc.com/hs-fs/file-15402275-jpg/images/c--documents_and_settings-tina.airpacinc-my_documents-my_pictures-ap_marketing_pics-life_saving.jpg)So I was surprised when I saw the article on [Reuters](http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE68M5HC20100923?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reuters%2FhealthNews+%28News+%2F+US+%2F+Health+News%29&utm_content=Google+Reader) about the California study which determined that "people with air conditioners at home are less likely than their neighbors without the technology to develop serious heat-related illnesses -- including pneumonia, cardiac disease and heat stroke -- during temperature spikes."  ***Really?***  *We need a study for that?  Who paid for that study?  California tax dollars?* Since we manufacture, sell and [rent portable air conditioners](https://www.airpacinc.com/rent-air-conditioners/) and [portable electric heaters](https://www.airpacinc.com/rent-heaters/), I'm often searching for stats and figures on extending equipment life and maximizing productivity with **proper climate control -- **that can mean cooling in the winter for heat-intensive or heat-sensitive environments.  And even heating in the summer for some processes -- how do you think they get rid of bed bugs?  Yuck, you don't want to know.  TRUST me.  I use this data I collect to educate our prospective clients on the services we provide and let them know how we can help make their work ...well, easier, less work is a good thing.  We love an educated, well-informed customer. Sadly, heat waves often claim lives.  Even though my income potential depends on critical climate control, I'm glad my time and hard-earned money didn't go toward funding this study. 'Nuf said.  I'm ready for fall here in Virginia.  Perfect two-season days with beautiful fall color...plus lots of opportunity to rent portable air conditioners and heaters!  [![Rental Cooling Guide](https://www.airpacinc.com/hs-fs/file-26350871-jpg/images/c--documents_and_settings-tina.airpacinc-my_documents-my_pictures-ap_marketing_pics-cta_rental_guid.jpg)](https://www.airpacinc.com/download-your-rental-cooling-guide-/)   Tags: [Server Room Cooling](https://www.airpacinc.com/blog/tag/server-room-cooling), [Portable Electric Heaters](https://www.airpacinc.com/blog/tag/portable-electric-heaters), [Spot Coolers](https://www.airpacinc.com/blog/tag/spot-coolers) ##### Social Media - [** ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.airpacinc.com/blog/bid/47035/air-conditioning-saves-servers-and-lives&title=Air%20Conditioning%20Saves%20Servers....and%20Lives!&picture=http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/73348/file-15402275-jpg/images/c--documents_and_settings-tina.airpacinc-my_documents-my_pictures-ap_marketing_pics-life_saving.jpg&description=Air%20conditioning%20study%20determines%20cooling%20saves%20lives.%20%20Portable%20air%20conditioners%20also%20save%20servers%20and%20other%20heat-sensitive%20equipment.) - [**](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?source=https://www.airpacinc.com/blog/bid/47035/air-conditioning-saves-servers-and-lives&text=Air%20Conditioning%20Saves%20Servers....and%20Lives!%20-%20https://www.airpacinc.com/blog/bid/47035/air-conditioning-saves-servers-and-lives) - [**](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.airpacinc.com/blog/bid/47035/air-conditioning-saves-servers-and-lives&title=Air%20Conditioning%20Saves%20Servers....and%20Lives!&summary=Air%20conditioning%20study%20determines%20cooling%20saves%20lives.%20%20Portable%20air%20conditioners%20also%20save%20servers%20and%20other%20heat-sensitive%20equipment.) - [**](mailto:?subject=Air%20Conditioning%20Saves%20Servers....and%20Lives!&body=Air%20Conditioning%20Saves%20Servers....and%20Lives!%20https://www.airpacinc.com/blog/bid/47035/air-conditioning-saves-servers-and-lives) [Previous](https://www.airpacinc.com/blog/bid/46218/hvac-growth-predicted) [Next](https://www.airpacinc.com/blog/bid/47195/portable-air-conditioners-safer-than-window-units-ac-unit-falls-6-floors-hits-man) [![footer_logo.png](https://www.airpacinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Airpac%20_2018/Images/footer_logo.png?width=186&name=footer_logo.png "footer_logo.png")](https://info.airpacinc.com/homepage) AirPac is your solution for portable, temporary, and emergency heating and cooling for special events, commercial spaces, and industrial processes.
