Air Conditioning in Innerleithen

As the name suggests, these are air conditioning units that are specifically designed to be installed indoors. Unlike the conventional air conditioning system which involves installing a rather unattractive box on the outside of the building, internal air conditioning units are full fledged AC system which doesn’t involve having to make penetrations through the external walls. This could be as a result of the weather proof nature of the building or any other exterior skin features which acts as a restriction and makes the installation of a traditional air conditioning unit on the outside of your building simply illogical.

So how exactly does internal air conditioning units work? Well, most systems features the following components:

• The fan coil or room unit which is retrofitted high up on the interior wall of the room in question. Although, it can also be fitted into existing fittings as a concealed ducted unit during a refurbishment which makes it look a lot more attractive than the first option.
• The refrigeration pipe work then runs from the unit hidden behind the walls or ceilings, to the condenser box. The condenser box is usually the part that goes outside. However, it’s still installed inside the systems, mostly in a concealed space such as under the kitchen counter.

The benefits of installing internal air conditioning systems include the following:

• They are smart systems which is fully controllable with WiFi
• They filter the air, sucking dust, pollutants as well as other allergens from your building
• They most possesses some exciting features like the blackout technology as well as the i-Feel temperature control
• They’re just as effective in cooling and dehumidifying as any traditional air conditioning system.

We all know how helpful air conditioning systems can be especially during the hot summer season which is great at making your home feel nothing less than an inferno. So if you have an AC system, you’d probably want to know if leaving it on will be cheaper and more efficient.

The short and simple answer to this question is yes, leaving your air conditioning system on will make make it cheaper and more efficient. This isn’t what you or many other people will have in mind though. Under no circumstances should you leave you air conditioning system on full blast 24/7. To make your air conditioning system more efficient by leaving it on has a right and wrong way you can go about it. Let’s have a look!

If you’d ever noticed, any time you turn your air conditioner off during a very a hot day, even if it’s for just a couple of hours, things tend to get thrown out of balance pretty quickly. When turned back on, your AC system will have to work even harder to restore the usual comfort levels in the room. When you abuse this dial in such a fashion, the AC system can only become more inefficient rather than making your home more comfortable quickly.

On the other hand, your AC system ( when tuned to the right settings) can help maintain the proper temperature and humidity balance within your home instead of turning it off while away. And upon getting back, you can simply turn down the thermostat a bit which helps you prevent the usual stagnant air that you’d be hit with when your return home (with the AC system turned off) that’ll have you racing for the dial.

There are a range of air conditioning units on the market. You should be sure to choose one with the appropriate cooling output for the room where it will be placed. Professional air conditioning companies will be able to advise you of the most suitable units for your rooms.

NO - as air conditioning systems use fluorinated gases as refrigerants, all work on them must be done by professionals holding valid F-Gas certification.
