Residential air conditioning systems operate on an Air to Air exchange. This is the most common installation for the domestic market, able to provide cooling and heating for total climate control. It has refrigerant running between its outdoor unit and indoor units, therefore little chance of any energy loss before cooling or heating the required space. Air to Air systems are the most efficient heat pump system; this type of heat pump is not required to heat hot water before heating the space required. These systems will also give added benefits of cleaning the air in the required space and a dehumidify mode is available.
People automatically associate air conditioning with just cooling. However, our units serve various purposes; heating, cooling, dehumidifying and air purification thus providing total climate control.
"I already have central heating"
You will be well aware that radiators take time to heat and run from gas in which prices have risen. Air conditioning provides instant heating or cooling and can be situated anywhere within your room therefore creating space from where your radiators would be. If you was to add any additional radiators within your home, such as in a conservatory, more often than not you would need to increase the capacity of your boiler to accommodate them. Again, you would still only have a heating facility.
Over recent years a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the Air within our homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrial cities.
Heat pumps have the ability to heat your hot water efficiently by replacing your existing boiler system. Grants may be available because these systems are a renewable energy source.
