Domestic Air Conditioning: A Simple Buyer's Guide

Home air conditioning used to be a luxury. With warmer summers and modern heat pump technology, it has become a practical upgrade that adds comfort all year round, cooling in summer and heating efficiently in winter.

Choosing the right system

Wall mounted units

The most popular choice for homes. Quiet, efficient and quick to install, a wall mounted indoor unit suits bedrooms, living rooms and home offices.

Multi-room systems

One outdoor unit can serve several indoor units, so you can cool multiple rooms while keeping the exterior tidy. Ideal for whole home comfort.

What about running costs?

Modern systems are remarkably efficient. Because they move heat rather than generate it, a good heat pump can deliver several units of heating or cooling for every unit of electricity it uses. Correct sizing and professional installation make a real difference here, which is exactly where a qualified engineer earns their keep.

• Pick the right capacity for the room, not too big and not too small.
• Look for a high SEER and SCOP efficiency rating.
• Use timers, eco modes and smart controls to avoid waste.
• Keep filters clean with an annual service.
