Commercial Air Conditioning FAQs

Does a dirty air filter affect air conditioning?

Air conditioning filters can get dirty over time, especially through heavy use. This can have a major impact on how efficient a unit is, increasing how much energy it uses and reducing how effective it is.

This is why it’s a good idea to service your air conditioning system regularly. Part of this should involve checking, cleaning and replacing your filters, to help your units run as efficiently as possible.

Is air conditioning suitable for the UK?

Yes - in the Summer many UK homes could benefit from air conditioning, particularly in southern and eastern areas and is global temperatures increase with longer, hotter, dryer Summer months. Also, most modern air conditioning units function as heat pumps, meaning they can be used in winter as part of a heating system.

What is air conditioning?

Air conditioning is a way of controlling air temperature, humidity, quality and movement in an inside space. Air conditioning is best known as a way to cool down air temperatures in properties. But it can be a great, efficient way to heat your home or business too. You can also use it to reduce the moisture in your air in humid or damp conditions, and filter out things like dust and pollen. There are lots of different types of air conditioning available, so you can pick one that suits you and your property.

How much is an air conditioning unit?

In several parts of the UK, air conditioning systems are a must especially in the warmer summer months. Fortunately, if your AC system isn’t functioning the way it’s supposed to, suffers frequent system breakdowns when overworked mostly during the hot summer days or perhaps you’re just tired of just having to manage with window units, the latest air conditioning units offers both features and performance that’s superior to the earlier models. And as you would have expected, each facet comes with a cost.

There are a number of factors that can determine the cost of an air conditioning unit. Out of all these factors, the size of your home happens to be the most significant factor that influences an air conditioning unit’s cost. Air conditioning systems are measured in tons, which is a measure of the amount of heat they’re able to remove from a home within an hour. As a rule of thumb, you’ll require about 1 ton of cooling per 500 to 600 square feet. Unfortunately, the square footage alone can’t be used to determine the tonnage. Other factors that’ll also play a significant role includes the efficiency of your most preferred AC unit, how well the home is insulated as well as the thermal nature of your home. On the average, a new air conditioning system for an average home should be within the range of £1000 to £3000 for a unit as well as the installation costs which can vary largely depending on the condition of your ducts. These figures may seem quite expensive, but when the hot summer days come, you’d be glad to have had one installed in your home.

What gas does air conditioning use?

Several individuals think that the the way their air conditioning system works is simply by pumping hot air out of their homes or offices, blowing a cool air in return. This is absolutely wrong! The hot air is, in fact, cycled back in as cold air and this process continues until the thermostats gets dropped down to the required or set temperature. The air conditioning system manages this in a similar way to how the refrigerator manages to stay cold and of course, excluding the insulated box.

The short and simple answer to the question of what gas an air conditioning use is Freon. This is a non inflammable gas which is subjected to the evaporation process over and over again in most refrigerators to keep the temperature at a low level. This same process is repeated in air conditioning systems. Now let’s take a look at how the Freon gas is incorporated in AC systems.

The cold Freon gas is firstly compressed by a compressor in the air conditioner. The gas is then combined with a little quantity of oil in order to lubricate the compressor. When Freon gas is compressed, the pressure is increased which makes it incredibly hot. It then moves through a couple of coils which works to lowering the heat and turning it to liquid. This Freon liquid will then be transmitted via an expansion valve which causes it to cool down until evaporation takes place. The outcome of this is a low pressure cold Freon gas which is then transmitted via another set of coils allowing the gas to collect the heat and lower the air within the room.

The air conditioner now filters the air and clears out the dust, smoke, pollen and other kinds of air pollutants. The system also absorbs excess liquid from the air too which it uses to cool down the system and pump it through a hose.

What is central air conditioning system?

What Is Central Air Conditioning System?

Central air conditioning system is a system which operates by cooling air at a central place and distributes the cooled air to and from rooms with the help of one or more fans and ductwork. What makes the whole idea of air conditioning feasible is the operations of the air conditioner compressor. When it cooling gas is compressed, it allows it to absorb heat from the house and blows it outside into the outside air and that’s exactly how the cool air is being generated.

Central air conditioning are of two main types which includes a split system as well as a packaged unit.

Generally, in the split system AC unit, both the condenser and compressor are included in the outdoor metal cabinet, whereas the indoor cabinet includes the evaporator. Typically, in several split system air conditioning units, the indoor cabinet will also include an air handler or a furnace. What’s more? The evaporator coil of the AC unit is fitted in the cabinet or the furnace or heat pump’s primary supply duct. This type of central air condition is usually the most economical AC unit to fit if you already have a furnace in your home.

However, in a packaged central air conditioning system, the components including condenser, compressor and evaporator are all included in one cabinet. Supply of air as well as the return ducts are connected through the home’s exterior wall or roof to the package central air conditioning system - mostly placed outdoors. This type of central air conditioners also features electric heating oil or a natural gas furnace. With this perfect blend of central heater with air conditioner, there’s simply no need to a separate furnace indoors.

Can I install an air conditioning unit myself?

NO - as air conditioning systems use fluorinated gases as refrigerants, all work on them must be done by professionals holding valid F-Gas certification. There is a range of different qualifications and certifications that apply for this, so it's always best to ask someone who is qualified to do this.

What are the benefits of air conditioning?

In this day and age, not having an air conditioning system installed in your home will be quite odd and strange. And even more interestingly, air conditioning systems happens to be a necessity at the present time rather than a luxury. However, there are still several people who’ll forgo the option of installing a good air conditioning system in their homes due to the fact that it’s nothing but an extra cost they just don’t wish to incur.

In truth, the cost of purchasing, installing and running an air conditioning system can actually be a turn off to several homeowners, but the numerous benefits you will enjoy by having it installed largely outweighs any drawbacks the system might have. Now let’s consider the benefits associated with AC systems.

✓ It minimizes the risk of dying. Thousands of people die every year across the globe due to the constantly deteriorating temperatures. According to the experts, too much heat can lead to heat strokes and a great way to prevent this from happening is to invest in air conditioning systems.

✓ It improve the quality of sleep. A good quality sleep simply can’t be overstated as it leaves you feeling fresh and revitalized. However, this can be greatly hindered when everything around you is hot. For a good quality sleep, you might want to invest in air conditioning systems as they happen to be best way to have your home feeling cool and super comfortable.

✓ It prevents your devices from overheating. Electrical appliances can also suffer terribly under great heat and are vulnerable to overheating. In fact, devices such as microwaves, PCs, mobile phones and more can get damaged due to heat. The cost of replacing all these appliances will definitely be greater than the cost of installing an air conditioning system.
