A hot upstairs room or a south-facing office can make a home uncomfortable for a good chunk of the year. Modern air conditioning is efficient, quiet and doubles as heating in winter. Here is what to consider.
Single room or whole home
A single wall-mounted split is ideal for one problem room. A multi-split system runs several indoor units from one outdoor unit, which suits homeowners who want to cool a few rooms without multiple condensers.
Installation and F-Gas
Air conditioning must be installed by an F-Gas certified engineer. A typical single-room install is a day’s work and includes mounting the indoor and outdoor units, running the pipework neatly, and commissioning the system.
Running costs
Modern inverter systems are very efficient, and because they heat as well as cool, many homeowners find them cheaper to run than expected for the comfort they provide.
