Air Conditioning Technology, Makes & Models

How do air conditioning systems work?

An air conditioning installation for the home works by using both indoor and outdoor air-to-air units.

While cooling, the outdoor unit removes heat from your home and releases it outside, or in reverse during heating, it extracts warmth from the outdoor air and transfers it inside – all while simultaneously filtering and dehumidifying the air for added health benefits.

  • Heating and cooling your home with low carbon energy
  • Low installation costs
  • Low running costs*

* Installing air conditioning is fairly straightforward and on average you can cool your home for less than 5p an hour.

Here is a list of typical equipment installed during an air conditioning installation:

A wall mounted air conditioner unit is installed inside each room you wish to cool

An air conditioning unit is about 1m wide, 30cm high and 40cm deep, and sits high up on the wall, close to the ceiling. It supplies the cool air to the room.

Outside ground mounted unit

This is roughly 1m wide, 50cm high and 40cm deep. It draws the warm air out of your house and sends cooled air back in.

Whilst a wall mounted indoor air conditioner unit is the usual setup, in certain circumstances the following options can be suitable:

Portable units

  • Can move location as required

Cassette systems

  • Ideal for larger spaces (require a ceiling void)

Floor mounted systems

  • Similar appearance to radiators

Ducted systems

  • Very unobtrusive, but more complex to install and loft or ceiling space is needed
