Air conditioning for home use (UK)

Air conditioning for home use
Air conditioning a home can vary in price considerably depending on the type of unit you decide on. If you are looking to have a totally concealed air conditioning system for a larger area or entire floor area of home, then you will require a ducted air conditioning system or cassette air conditioning unit. These units require a void of around 300mm above the ceiling. They can be more costly to buy but provide an unobtrusive way of air conditioning home. For spot cooling an area such as a bedroom or lounge, wall mount units work out to be a cost effective way while LG Artcool units give the option of a artistic look with a fascia panel to put a picture behind so your air conditioning unit can double as a picture gallery. Pipe work will be needed to be run for split type systems (INDOOR AND OUTDOOR type). Cassette air conditioning can work out nicely for air conditioning a house as long as you have the required 300mm void space to install it.

Noise is worth taking into account as some air conditioning home units such as portable air conditioning have a reputation for being noisy so if the unit is going into a bedroom this is worth considering.

What to consider:

Decide whether you want to conceal your air conditioning in a ceiling void. If so choose a ducted unit and plan the project first.
Find the ideal location for your air conditioning indoor units where they will be as unobtrusive or not likely to be in the way.
Find a location for the outdoor air conditioning unit which will be out off the way such as on a wall or flat ground.
Consider the route of the pipe services between indoor air conditioning unit and outdoor air conditioning unit.
The indoor air conditioning unit will collect moister from the air and this will need to flow out either on a downward gradient or be pumped out using a mini-lime or likewise.
Wall units work out cheaper because they are cheaper to manufacture so if on a budget choose a wall air conditioning unit.
Artist air conditioning units that double up as a picture frame are new to the UK market but are ideal for house air conditioning. Take a look at the LG artcool range.
Choose a good brand for air conditioning a house as you have to live with it every day. It is the same with every household item, such as a television or oven quality talks.
