Air conditioning is common in UK commercial premises, but less widely used in homes. Because of this, not many people know how it works or what to look out for. We’re here to help you decide if air con is right for you, and how to choose which unit you want. Keep reading to learn more.
How Powerful Should Your Air Con Be?
Air conditioning power is measured in BTU, which stands for British Thermal Units. A higher BTU means the unit has more power, and you usually want higher powered units for large rooms. Most UK homes will be well suited to units of between 5,000 and 8,000 BTUs. If you’re unsure, your air con installation technician should be able to make a reasonable suggestion based on the dimensions of your room.
How Does Air Conditioning Work?
Air con units have a lot of the same features as your refrigerator does. A liquid coolant is used to lower the temperature of the air brought into the unit. As well as that, air conditioning units also filter the air. This removes allergens, pollens and other irritating particles, leaving you with cleaner, more breathable air. This means that air con units often benefit those with allergies and respiratory conditions like asthma.
As well as cooling and filtering the air, your unit can also reduce the amount of moisture and humidity. This is great for regulating humid rooms, making them more comfortable and less likely to suffer moisture damage.
Air Con Benefits For Homeowners
There are many great reasons for homeowners to invest in air con. As well as breathing cleaner, cooler air, you can also enjoy a more secure home. Air conditioning means that you don’t need to leave windows and doors open to have fresh, cool air in the home. This means your home is less vulnerable to intrusion, and could also reduce the amount of noise pollution.
