The UK government offers a number of incentives to encourage people to install energy-efficient HVAC systems. These incentives can help to offset the cost of installation and reduce your running costs.

What type of air conditioning system is best for my home?

The best type of air conditioning system depends on various factors such as the size of your home, your budget, and your specific cooling needs. Split-system air conditioners are popular for residential use as they offer efficient cooling for individual rooms or zones.

Is it possible to retrofit air conditioning into my existing home?

What should I consider when choosing an air conditioning installer?

When choosing an air conditioning installer, consider factors such as their experience, qualifications, reputation, and whether they offer warranties or guarantees on their work. It’s also a good idea to request quotes from multiple installers to compare prices and services.

Are there any alternatives to domestic air conditioning?

Domestic air conditioning (AC) is a system that cools and dehumidifies the air within a home, providing a comfortable living environment during hot weather.

Natural ventilation, strategic landscaping, and energy-efficient appliances can sometimes provide alternative cooling strategies, depending on the climate and individual preferences.
