What is air conditioning?
Air Conditioning comes in many forms but the principle remains the same in all of the technologies. The process is known as vapour compression. A gas is compressed so that it becomes a liquid (like an aerosol can where you can hear liquid in the can but when you spray it, vapour comes out) it is then forced through a small hole into a bigger space (known as an evaporator) this change in mass creates a temperature change and allows the heat in the area around the evaporator to be collected and moved to another area.
Is it energy efficient?
Yes! New units are so efficient in cooling that they can run for less than 5 pence per hour, not much of a price to pay for a good night's sleep! Most air conditioners (and all of the ones we supply) can reverse their cycle and heat the room as well (often referred to as Air Source Heat Pumps). Air-source heat pumps are highly energy efficient, meaning they’re a great way to cut your energy bills if you’re using oil or LPG for heating your home. Not only that, but because they generate 3 times as much energy as they use, they’re far more efficient than a traditional boiler, using far less energy.
Which unit is right for me?
Portable Units
These units are the simplest form of air conditioning and do not require professional installation. They often use a hose to expel the air outside through a window or purpose-built vent.
Wall Mounted
Daikin - Samsung - Midea - Hitachi
Great for bedrooms, small offices/studies. These units sit high on the wall and produce cold or warm air, and thanks to some amazing technological advances, this can be done with almost no draughts.
What can you expect?
A standard single-split system typically takes less than a day to be installed. There can be variable factors, such as building type, obstacles, and access, but your installer will likely give you a more detailed breakdown of what's involved.
Your installer should explain to you the benefits, features and capabilities of your air conditioning system or systems. Installers MUST BE F-Gas qualified AND F-Gas registered by law. We only sell our permanently fixed systems to registered engineers to ensure that the customer experience you receive remains positive.
Whilst permanently fixed air conditioning is a significant investment at first, once you have it, we're certain that you will swiftly see and feel the benefits and wonder how you ever managed without it!
