HOW DOES AIR CONDITIONING WORK?
Air conditioning works by removing heat and humidity from the air inside your home, leaving it cool and comfortable. It does this using a system of coils and refrigerant that absorbs the heat indoors and releases it outside. A fan then circulates the cooled air throughout your space. Whether it's sweltering summer heat or just a stuffy room, a properly installed AC system can make a big difference in your comfort.
While the UK isn't known for extreme heat, summers are getting warmer and more humid. Installing air conditioning adds year-round comfort by keeping your home cool during heatwaves and helping reduce humidity levels. Modern systems can also improve indoor air quality and double as energy-efficient heaters in the winter. Plus, with more people working from home, having a comfortable environment can boost focus and productivity.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is air conditioning really necessary in the UK?
A: While the UK has a milder climate, summers are becoming hotter and more unpredictable. Air conditioning not only keeps your home cool during heatwaves but also helps reduce humidity and improve air quality—making it a smart, long-term comfort upgrade.
Q: Can air conditioning also heat my home?
