Customer FAQs
Our most frequently asked Air Con questions!
Why should I have air conditioning installed?
Air conditioning offers many benefits beyond cooling. It can provide a year-round climate control solution for a range of different environments. With dual-function, most new units boast an auto-changeover switch, enabling your unit to cool or heat as required for consistent thermal comfort.
How is air conditioning fitted?
Your system will have one indoor air conditioning unit, which will be either wall, floor or ceiling-mounted or ducted. The unit will be linked to an outdoor condenser via piping and a four-core cable. Your air conditioning system will be operable by either an infra-red remote or a hard-wired controller.
How long does it take to install an air conditioning system?
It takes around one day to install a single, complete air conditioning system, comprising an indoor air con unit and an outdoor condenser.
How does air conditioning work step-by-step
- The air conditioning system pulls in air from the room through its coils and filters.
- It either cools or heats it depending on the temperature it’s set to and the current room temperature.
- It then recirculates the air back into the room at the desired temperature.
The sealed system uses refrigeration gas which does not get released, thereby offering an efficient and environmentally-friendly solution. Furthermore, as the gas is not released, no replacement is necessary.
What is the difference between HVAC and air conditioning?
Within the industry, the term HVAC is often used. It refers to heating, ventilation and air conditioning whereas AC simply refers to air conditioning. The terms are often used interchangeably as many systems provide both heating and cooling solutions.

However, an HVAC system serves both a cooling and heating function, thereby providing all your climate control requirements, year-round, from one, responsive unit.
Is a home air conditioning unit good for your health?
Most modern units are fitted with an anti-fungus filter to trap allergy-causing mites and unpleasant odours. This helps to maintain air purity and keep your environment clean and fresh.
Are there any additional benefits of air conditioning?
Having air conditioning eliminates the need to open doors and windows. Not only does this maintain a safe and secure environment by keeping unwanted opportunists at bay, it also ensures insects and external noise don’t become an annoyance.
Are air conditioning systems Wi-Fi enabled
