Things are heating up, and to celebrate the warming Spring weather we sat down with the founder behind aesthetic A/C unit July, Muhammad Saigol, to talk shop about all things sustainable cooling.
The best part? You can win a July (and a few other sustainable prizes) by entering our Earth Day Giveaway here (ends tonight)
Q: What sets July apart from traditional AC units?
Muhammad: July has re-imagined the window A/C, entirely distinct from any others on the market. July has a beautiful and customizable aesthetic; a patented installation system that makes it safer, easier, and quicker than any other unit; and emits 2/3rds less emissions than most traditional A/Cs. On top of that, we are the first window A/C in the market to offer air purification capabilities.
Q: What made you start a responsible AC company?
Muhammad: A/C is one of the world's largest contributors to global warming - but the reality is that, in a changing climate, A/C only becomes more necessary, for a longer period of time, in more places. And while A/C is part of the problem, the other truth is that it can be harmful to human health to be in extreme heat. I started July because I believed that there had to be a better way to balance those two objectives - keeping comfortably cool and reducing the impact on the environment.
Q: What’s your fav thing about Summer?
Muhammad: I named the company after the month of its inception - but also my favorite time of the year. Summer is the most glorious time of year - it's the time to get out and explore nature, take day trips to the beach, and take long evening walks in the city. For me, summer is about adventure.
