Understanding Air Conditioning

What is air conditioning and what does it do?

Before we look at the many benefits of professional air conditioning installation, let’s explore exactly what air conditioning is. Air conditioning units are designed to create and maintain temperatures, reduce humidity and balance air purity within indoor spaces. This process is typically applied to maintain a level of personal comfort, we here in the UK prefer to call it ‘Comfort Cooling’.

Whether you’re a homeowner or are responsible for an office, leisure centre, retail premises or another commercial environment, you’ll likely want to consider air conditioning installation to deliver a healthy and breathable environment, eliminate unpleasant smells and contaminants and provide ‘reverse cycle’ heat pump heating in addition to cool air.

The Benefits of Professional Air Conditioning Installation

Now that you know what air conditioning is and how Chillmech can help, let’s look at the benefits of professional air conditioning installation. Whether for domestic or commercial environments, expert air conditioning installation provides a wealth of advantages. Without professional air conditioning installation, you could face future problems with your system, as well as one that doesn’t support the energy efficiency of your property. Here are the benefits of professional air conditioning installation.

  • Expertise & Knowledge

Expertise matters when it comes to air conditioning installation. Layout, room size, air conditioning unit specification and more have a huge impact on the function and efficiency of your AC system. Fortunately, at Chillmech, we have the experience and knowledge required to install an AC unit that perfectly balances your requirements with your property.

  • Energy Efficiency

When installing a new air conditioning system, energy efficiency is often at the forefront of our client’s concerns. As professional air conditioning installers, we know how to set up your AC unit to maximise its performance whilst minimising its energy usage. With our expertise, we can reduce your environmental impact and save you money on your energy bills.

  • The Right Unit

Choosing the right unit for your space is much more that a stylistic decision. The unit chosen for installation in a commercial environment will be vastly different to the units that domestic clients have installed. We will survey your home or commercial space thoroughly to determine which type of air conditioning unit will be right for you.

  • Extended Lifespan

Air conditioning is built to be long-lasting, as long as it is installed, services and maintained by professionals. Expert installation ensures that your air conditioning system is connected and calibrated correctly, therefore reducing the risk of breakdowns and issues from arising further down the line.

  • Compliance

Did you know that building regulations can dictate specific requirements for air conditioning installation, particularly in commercial environments? With professional AC installers such as Chillmech working on your unit installation, you can rest assured that your air conditioning system will be fully compliant with building codes.

  • Maintain Your Warranty

Your air conditioning unit will likely come with a manufacturer’s warranty, and professional installation is often a warranty requirement. Ensure that your system is protected in the long-run and preserve your warranty coverage by choosing professional air conditioning installation.
