Home Air Conditioning - The Benefits Explained!

So, air conditioners keep you cool right?  Yes - but that's not all.

By installing air conditioning into the home you'll benefit in many ways. Here are what we consider to be the top ten benefits of air conditioning for the home.

1.  Controllable comfort.  

Today's residential air conditioning systems allow you to enjoy your perfect indoor temperature in any of the rooms within your home.

Bedrooms can be kept cool and comfortable throughout the warmest of summer nights, allowing you and your family to fall peacefully to sleep, at the time you want to! Studys or out-buildings used by those working from home can remain a productive and workable environment, even in the peak of summer.  

But today's residential air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, allowing conservatories and loft conversions that are typically too hot in the summer and difficult to keep warm in the winter, to be enjoyed at a constant level of comfort throughout the entire year.

2.  Reduction in humidity.

In addition to providing accurate temperature control, today's air conditioning systems also reduce the humidity within your home to eliminate the 'stickiness' associated with our UK summers. Most systems have a dedicated 'dry' mode, where humidity can be reduced without over-cooling the room.  Ideal for homes in damp locations!

3.  Silent operation.

Today's residential air conditoners are much quieter than conventional table-top or pedestal fans, ensuring that your night's sleep is both comfortable, and peaceful.

4.  Banish nuisance insects.

With air conditioning installed, doors and windows can be kept closed keeping out those nusiance insects that keep you awake and bite in the night!

5.  Eliminate external noise pollution.

Being able to keep doors and windows closed also keeps out the noise.  A great benefit for infants or shift workers needing to sleep in the day time, or those who relish a lie-in on the weekend!

6.  Improved security at home.

The ability to keep doors and windows closed in the summer also improves the security of your home, especially at night time. With air conditioning installed, those sleeping in bedrooms at ground level can enjoy a safe and secure night's sleep!

7.  Improved air quality.

Today's residential air conditioners feature effective, air-purifying filtration systems to reduce bacteria, dust, house mites, pet fur and pollen, particularly benefitting those who suffer from allergies and respiratory problems.

8.  Reduction of energy bills.

The heating capability of today's air conditioning systems is achieved through the use of highly energy-efficient heat-pump technology, which consumes up to 80% less power than any other form of electric heating.

If you're currently using night storage heaters or electric convectors, radiant panels or under-floor heating, listen up - there's a huge energy saving opportunity here for you!

9.  Convenient heat, exactly when you need it.

Unlike conventional central heating systems, residential air conditioners can provide immediate heat. Ideal for those times of year when the weather can be changeable, as energy-efficient heat is delivered almost immediately, at the touch of a button.

10.  Incentivised by the Government.

It's not often that the Government makes a financial concession to us homeowners, but due to the impressive efficiency of such heat-pump systems, they've awarded a reduced VAT rate of just 5% to promote the installation of heat-pump systems within the home.
