Home air conditioning in Herefordshire

Many people think air conditioning is only necessary in workplaces and other commercial premises. This is simply not the case; residential properties can benefit hugely from air conditioning – both heating and cooling methods. 

How can my home benefit from air conditioning?

As a homeowner or property developer – any investment must bring in benefits. So, how can your home benefit from air conditioning? Well, apart from energy efficient heating & cooling, your AC unit can also:

-    Improve your sleep during the summer.
-    Bring down heating costs. 
-    Improve air quality & ventilation.
-    Reduce humidity.
-    Increase home security. 

But how?

Sleeping during the summer is difficult, even at 20 degrees, although not particularly hot in the moment, homes in the UK retain heat meaning our bedrooms stay even warmer during the night. Heat rises too, and the majority of cases, bedrooms are upstairs. This makes for an uncomfortable night sleep for many months of the year. Poor sleep transfers into our day to day lives, making us less productive and restless. A good night’s sleep is important for both our physical and mental well-being…an air conditioning unit can mean you can sleep comfortably even in the height of summer. 

An air conditioning unit can even bring down your heating bills. Modern-day air-conditioning units can produce three kilowatts of heat for every kilowatt of electricity that is sourced. In comparison, our central heating systems can only produce one! Without getting too technical, you can gain far more heat for less electricity. 

Air conditioning units can also improve overall air quality and ventilation. Stale air is extracted and replaced with cleaner air free from any pollutants. Do you live beside a busy road? An air conditioning unit means you don’t have to open your windows avoiding congested air from entering your home. You’ll also notice humidity levels decrease when using your air conditioning system.

Finally, an air conditioning unit can even improve home security. Having an air conditioning unit means you don’t need to leave windows open over night or when you’re not home. This in turn makes your property much harder to gain access into.

Domestic & residential air conditioning

With a wide range of domestic air conditioning units on the market, choosing the right system can seem overwhelming. Rest assured; our award-winning engineers are on hand to help. Let’s look at each unit in more detail:

• Wall mounted units: Wall mounted air conditioning units are generally the easiest and least expensive to install. Because of this, they tend to be the most common choice for homeowners. No building work or redecoration is required to install wall mounted AC units, and, in most cases, they can confidently heat and cool homes of all sizes efficiently. Wall mounted units can be fitted high or low and are very quiet – perfect for overnight use. 
• Central / ducted units: Central or ducted units are more expensive but are designed to be completely concealed making them a sleeker, less obtrusive solution. Central / ducted units work best in building projects as major works is required. 

Home air conditioning maintenance

You should be aware that home air conditioning does require some maintenance. Routine cleaning and replacement of filters is a must to ensure optimal efficiency is obtained. Thankfully, our engineers can also schedule routine maintenance services making the process that little bit easier!
