Although the UK hasn’t been particularly warm this year, summers are generally getting hotter.
In the past, air conditioners weren’t seen as necessary in Britain due to our milder summers and cold winters. However, that’s something that’s changing.
In 2022 the UK experienced the hottest temperature on record (in Lincolnshire), and temperatures exceeded 40°C (104°F) in various areas, turning it into a record-breaking summer.
In general, heatwaves were much more common in the past, so more people are investigating having air conditioning installed. Whether you're considering installing an air conditioner in your home, office, or commercial space, Cool Running Air Conditioning can talk you through the benefits.
Reduce discomfort during sweltering temperatures.
An air conditioner can help you stay cool and comfortable during these periods by maintaining an optimal indoor temperature, regardless of external conditions.
Although opening windows or using fans may improve matters, they’re not always effective.
Our air conditioners offer stable, adjustable temperatures that you can control with ease. This is particularly beneficial at night, when sleeping in an overly hot room can disrupt your rest.
Improve the air quality in your home.
Our high quality air conditioners can do more than just cool the air. They can remove dust, pollen, pet dander and other airborne pollutants. If you suffer from allergies or respiratory conditions like asthma, they can be an excellent investment.
Many of us struggle during summer when windows are open, since allergens can enter the home.
Our air conditioning units can help the air circulate in your home or business. Our advanced systems can purify the air, making it better than ever. That’s particularly valuable if you’re based in a city or urban area, since pollution is higher.
Control humidity levels in your property.
Many of our air conditioners come with built-in dehumidifiers, helping to reduce indoor humidity levels. High humidity can make your home feel hotter than it actually is and can lead to dampness, which is particularly problematic in older homes. By reducing moisture in the air, air conditioning helps to prevent the growth of mould and mildew, which can be detrimental to both your health and your property.
Sleep better and wake up feeling refreshed.
Ever felt like you’re trying to fall asleep in an oven? During the UK’s summer months, it’s not uncommon for indoor temperatures to become uncomfortable.
Air conditioning can regulate your bedroom temperature, helping you fall asleep more easily and enjoy a deeper, uninterrupted sleep. Poor sleep, often caused by hot and stuffy conditions, can lead to irritability, decreased productivity, and poor health.
Upgrade to an energy efficient model.
There has been considerable advancement in air conditioning technology in recent years, making modern units much more energy-efficient than older models. Features such as programmable thermostats, variable speed fans, and energy-saving modes allow you to cool your home without wasting excessive energy.
While electricity costs in the UK are a consideration, modern air conditioning units are designed to minimise energy consumption, ensuring that running costs remain manageable.
Increase productivity at home.
Working from home remains highly common since the Covid-19 pandemic.
During the summer, working in a hot and uncomfortable environment can decrease productivity and focus. Air conditioning creates a more comfortable workspace by keeping temperatures down, reducing feelings of sluggishness or fatigue that are often associated with heat.
Create a more pleasant work environment for staff.
Studies have shown that employees are more productive and less likely to experience heat-related illnesses when working in air-conditioned spaces. This can lead to a healthier, happier, and more productive workforce.
Protect your electronics by keeping the air cool.
We all have more devices than ever in our home. High temperatures and humidity can damage sensitive electronics like computers, televisions, and home appliances. Air conditioning helps protect these devices by keeping the air cool and dry, reducing the risk of overheating or moisture damage. That’s why cooling systems are used in data centres!
This is particularly important if your home or business relies on technology for day-to-day operations.
Keep your furniture in good condition.
In addition to electronics, your home’s furnishings can also benefit from a more regulated climate. High humidity levels can cause wood to warp, paint to peel, and fabrics to deteriorate. Air conditioning helps preserve the quality and longevity of your furniture and other household items.
Make your property more valuable.
Installing air conditioning can increase the overall value of your home, making it more attractive to potential buyers. As summers become hotter and more unpredictable, having an air conditioning system may be seen as a highly desirable feature, especially in places that experience higher temperatures.
Impress your guests with the perfect temperature.
Air conditioning also enhances the experience for any visitors to your home. Whether you’re hosting a summer barbecue or a gathering indoors, your guests will appreciate the cool and comfortable environment, making your home a more desirable place for gatherings and parties.
