Domestic heating with air conditioning together?
Standby for significant changes in the way we heat our homes and living spaces. There are big changes taking place as you read this in the domestic air conditioning & heating market which will have far-reaching consequences over the next five years.
Many people believe that air conditioning is a luxury being expensive to run and thus only for the affluent. How wrong can they be? In a motor vehicle a significant amount of energy (approximately 10% on mpg) is needed to run the on-board air conditioning plant. This is NOT so with fixed units in homes and offices which can also be used as an energy efficient heating system.
Reduced VAT brings about savings
Global warming is on everybody’s minds and to lessen the impact of global warming we need to reduce our dependency on the burning of fossil fuels right across the nation. Because the latest generation of air conditioning units also act as energy efficient heating systems the government, recognising the energy efficient features of this new breed of units, have reduced the rate of Value Added Tax (VAT) to only 5% on all energy efficient air conditioning units.
Units now come with an energy rating very much like other domestic appliances such as dish washers and washing machines. Both cycles, heating or cooling, have these ratings and Kool Planet would always look to install the more energy efficient units. Look for 'A' and 'B' rated units in any quote you receive.
Where do you want yours?
Most domestic air conditioning installation usually fall into three rooms:
- conservatory
- bedroom or
- home/study.
Conservatories can be one of the most pleasant rooms within our homes but most people find them too cold in winter and too hot in summer. An air conditioning system could be the answer to both problems, delivering cool filtered air in the summer months and energy efficient heating in winter making the conservatory a useful and comfortable room all year round.
Because of the temperature extremes reached in a conservatory this room does require a unit with a larger capacity for cooling in summer, than say a bedroom or study because of solar gains through the glass and for heating in winter due to high heat loses through the glass. Units in a conservatory can be mounted in a number of ways: high and low level wall mounting and even floor standing.
Bedrooms and studies do not suffer such extremes of temperatures and can have a controlled climate at using smaller units. Units in a bedroom or study can be mounted in a number of ways: ceiling mounting, high and low level wall mounting or even floor standing.
