If you live in the UK (especially locally to us here in the East Midlands), then you‚’ll know it can be a real struggle to stay cool when the warm weather gets here.
While many people wondered if our unusually warm summers were just a fluke, it‚’s become clear they are anything but. At the same time, all of the work we do to insulate our properties for the winter can make those stifling summer evenings even more difficult to contend with.
Installing air conditioning seems like a logical choice. But unless your units are installed professionally, there‚’s a risk of choosing the wrong rooms, or even the wrong location within a room for air conditioning. So instead of staying cool, you could end up with heat hotspots, higher energy bills or simply an air conditioning unit which struggles to do its job effectively.
At Lee Jackson Air Conditioning, we want your air conditioning to be a great investment. So here are our top tips for choosing the best rooms to install air conditioning to guide you.
Bedrooms
We have to start here, because is there anything worse than feeling unable to sleep because it‚’s too hot?
For adults, you need a good night‚’s sleep to feel fresh for work in the morning. But, if you have any children in the home, a poor night‚’s sleep can affect their behaviour the next day and also their concentration at school. That’s why air conditioned bedrooms are becoming increasingly essential for the comfort and wellbeing of everyone in your property.
As a homeowner, you will know which bedrooms feel particularly uncomfortable when it‚’s warm. The good news is that modern air conditioning has a plethora of settings, including quiet or ‚Äòsleep mode‚’ so that the room stays cool, but the operation of the unit isn‚’t audible enough to disturb your slumber.
Loft Conversions
If you‚’ve undertaken a loft conversion in Nottingham, or any of the surrounding areas we serve, including Derby and Leicester, then you‚’ll know that while the extra space is amazing, the extra heat is not as welcome.
Unfortunately, heat rises. Since you‚’ve converted your loft into an extra bedroom or home office, all of the heat in your home eventually makes its way up to the loft. If you don‚’t have any way of cooling that space, it can become really unpleasant to spend time in, especially during heatwaves.
Air conditioning can soon restore a cool and calm environment for your loft conversion, making it another top installation spot to consider.
Living Rooms
After a long day of work, you want to be able to relax in your living room, whether you‚’re kicking back in front of the TV or spending quality time with your family.
Installing air conditioning is a great call, as the living room is often the largest space in the home and the busiest. Cooling this space makes the whole home feel more comfortable, especially if your living room has lots of glazing or is south-facing, meaning sunlight heats the room quickly.
For open plan living rooms, we recommend choosing a slightly higher capacity unit so the cool air can spread properly.
Home Offices
The latest statistics suggest that 21.5 million people in the UK work from home, whether this is all of the time remotely, or at least some of the week as part of a hybrid arrangement.
You don‚’t need us to tell you that trying to work on a computer when the room is too hot is not fun. The heat can even impact your productivity, especially if you feel lightheaded or dehydrated. Also, don‚’t get us started on what it‚’s like to sit in a long Zoom meeting in a heatwave as your screen creates even more heat!
Be the envy of all your meeting participants by installing air conditioning in your home office.
In Nottingham, home office air conditioning has become one of our most popular requests in recent years. Also, if you have a regular office, it‚’s good to know we also specialise in domestic air conditioning installations too!
