With autumn upon us and the weather cooling down, it is very easy to forget how hot it can get in the summer months. This year we saw record temperatures in Spring and Summer.
These days many of us want our homes flooded with natural light and ideally connected to the outdoors. Plus, with more of us working from home than ever before, due to COVID-19, people are looking to maximise the space available in their homes.
The kitchen diner/living area extending into the garden is a trend set to continue with loft extensions also proving immensely popular.
Glazing technology has moved at a pace over the last 10 years with bifolds, sliding doors and roof lights helping to bring the outside in. However, large amounts of glazing attract solar gain and if your extension is on the sunny side of your home, temperatures can get very hot during the warmer months. Converted lofts also suffer from the same issue.
If you are planning a refurbishment project, this is the ideal time to consider adding air conditioning into the mix. With a range of solutions available from seamless, ducted ‘hidden’ systems to the more ubiquitous wall and floor mounted options, there is something to suit all budgets.
The former involve a reasonable degree of building works, so ducted air conditioning systems are best integrated into your building renovation plans. Speak to your architect early on in the design process to achieve best results. Other air conditioning systems can be retro-fitted, but the more you can plan ahead the better to avoid unnecessary compromises.
At Advantage, we have been designing, installing, maintaining and repairing air conditioning systems for the last 25 years. From simple split systems for your garden office to complex domestic and commercial refurb projects, we have the expertise and knowledge to cater for all your air conditioning needs.
