Air Conditioning Installations Reading

There are a number of health benefits to installing air conditioning.

Using air conditioning specifically for cooling:

- reduces heat-related illnesses such as heat stroke.
- improves quality of sleep
- reduces air humidity
- helps with respiratory conditions such as asthma
- improves comfort

We can use air conditioning for heating as well as cooling so these benefits are possible all-year round:

- reduces air humidity
- helps with respiratory conditions such as asthma

Typically, it spans from a single day to a couple of days. The time needed for installation can differ based on factors like how many rooms you want to install air conditioning in and the complexity of the job such as the distance between the indoor and outdoor unit.

Installing air conditioning requires specialised knowledge meaning it is better to have experienced professionals carry out the work. Many things could go wrong and the benefits of having air conditioning units installed safely and correctly far outweigh the installation cost. Furthermore, any guarantee will be invalidated if the installation is not completed by a qualified installer such as us at PDF Gas and Heating.

No, in most cases, you won't require planning permission for installing a small AC system in a residential property, provided the external unit complies with specific regulations:
It must be positioned at least one metre away from any property boundaries.
It must be positioned at least one metre away from the edge of a flat roof.
It cannot be installed on a pitched roof.
Its volume should not exceed 0.6 cubic metres.
The property should not have a wind turbine.

However, there are exceptions to this rule. You'll likely need permission from your Local Planning Authority if your property is situated on designated land, such as:
An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
A National Park
A Conservation Area
A World Heritage Site

Additionally, different rules apply if the property is a flat or a listed building, and if you intend to install a central air conditioning system with a larger external unit.

The cost of installing an air conditioning system varies based on factors like system type, installation complexity, and property requirements.

We recommend installing a Worcester Bosch unit because of their superior quality and 5 year guarantee. Including the price of installation, air conditioning typically starts from £1750.

An air conditioning unit is an excellent solution for warming your conservatory, home gym or garden office. Air conditioning systems can heat conservatories by using a process called reverse cycle or heat pump technology. The same process that air con uses to cool your room is easily put in reverse to warm your room.

Air conditioning can be a quiet, space saving and cost-effective way to heat your conservatory in the cooler months and then also provide a cool space in the summer.

• Air Circulation: warm air is circulated throughout your conservatory via the indoor unit's fan system, raising the temperature of the space.
• Thermostat Control: The air conditioning system is usually equipped with a thermostat that allows you to set and maintain your desired temperature, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency.
