CONVENTIONAL AIR CONDITIONING

ABOUT AIR CONDITIONERS

Air conditioners work in a similar way to a refrigerator, but whilst refrigerators cool small areas inside the unit, air conditioners work to cool larger areas within your home. Explained very basically, an air conditioning system has 3 main parts, a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. The compressor pumps refrigerant around the system which draws hot air from the room, this passes through the condenser where the heat is removed and over the evaporator where cold air is delivered into the room. This process is reversed to allow the system to supply energy efficient heating too.

CONVENTIONAL AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS

SPLIT AND MULTI SPLIT SYSTEMS

This is the traditional indoor/outdoor system that is most commonly used in all applications. The system comprises of a single outside unit and either 1 or more indoor units or a concealed unit in the loft area ducted to each room that requires heating and cooling. The Split System is very efficient and, if maintained correctly, will last for many years. The indoor units are available in many sizes and designs which can complement the décor in your room.

The system is very efficient and can last for many years, but they must only be installed by a QUALIFIED F GAS ENGINEER.
INSTALLATION DETAILS

When these systems are installed, provisions must be made for the external condenser unit. The inside units can be placed at high level in one or more rooms offering both cooling in the summer and heating in the winter. Depending on the layout of the property these systems can typically be fully installed in 2-3 days. If you are refurbishing or renovating your property it is often helpful to discuss the final layout at design stage.

Installation of this system can only be undertaken by a QUALIFIED F GAS ENGINEER
