Air conditioning can cool or heat your home
Air conditioning is more popular than ever, as a low-cost way to manage the temperature in your home effectively. The many benefits of home air conditioning include:
- Either cool or heat individual rooms in your home
- Built-in air filtration to purify and neutralise bacteria, fungi and microbes
- Humidity regulation for healthy respiratory conditions
- Get a great night’s sleep with consistent temperatures all year round
- Fast installations with minimum disruption to your home

How Does Air Conditioning Work?
Cooling
Air conditioning works by extracting heat from inside your home and releasing it outside, creating a cooler indoor environment.
The system uses a refrigerant that circulates through a cycle of evaporation and condensation. Warm indoor air is drawn in and passes over an evaporator coil filled with cold refrigerant, which absorbs the heat and cools the air.
The refrigerant, now a warm gas, is compressed and sent to the condenser unit outside, where it releases the absorbed heat.
The cooled refrigerant returns to the evaporator to repeat the cycle, while a fan blows the newly cooled air back into your home.
Heating
Air conditioning units can also heat your home using a process called reverse cycle or heat pump technology.
In heating mode, the system reverses its function: instead of extracting heat from indoors, it draws heat from the outside air – even in cold weather – and transfers it inside.
The refrigerant absorbs outdoor heat as it passes through the external coil, then is compressed to increase its temperature. This hot refrigerant moves to the indoor unit, where it releases the heat into your home.
This method is energy efficient and cost-effective, making air conditioning a year-round solution for both cooling and heating.
Benefit from 0% VAT on Air Conditioning systems and installation
As part of the Government’s Energy Security Plan – now introduced across the UK – zero-rated VAT has been applied to air conditioning units due to their use of energy saving heat pump technology to control both indoor cooling and heating.
This makes air conditioning systems a highly efficient and more affordable way to keep your home at an optimum temperature all year round.

Answers to frequently asked questions about Air Conditioning
As a rule of thumb, air conditioner installations will last from 10 to 15 years.
Well-maintained systems may well continue to function even longer.
It’s best practice to check your system regularly to ensure everything is working as it should. Each manufacturer has its own recommendations as to what to look out for and these can include:
- Cleaning the filter (typically once every two weeks)
- Running any auto clean functions (as needed)
- Cleaning the exterior surfaces of indoor units (as needed)
- Cleaning the exterior surface of the outdoor unit (as needed)
It’s also a good idea to have your air conditioning installation checked over and serviced once a year by a professional engineer.
A typical single unit installation – perhaps in a bedroom – can be fitted in a day.
