Each year, electricity gets more and more expensive and the biggest electricity users in the home tend to be heating and air conditioning, and the homeowner needs to look to these items to make sure the home is more energy efficient. The whole-house approach to heating and cooling came about in the 1990s in an attempt to find a more efficient method of managing temperature. Since those early days energy has been used far more efficiently to heat and cool buildings, thus lowering the huge impact hating and cooling have on energy bills. A unit with both heating and cooling is becoming very popular in the UK, known as a split system uses an outdoor unit called a condenser and an indoor unit called an evaporator coil. A heat pump transports heat from one of these units to the other, for example in the summer the system takes heat from the air inside and transfers it outside, allowing the cooled indoor air to be re-circulated through the ducts by a fan. Any air conditioning has to be fit for purpose and ‘heat pump’ technology makes a system energy efficient, simply because the consumer will get heating during the winter months, and of course cooling during the summer months. Homeowners across the UK are now investing in air conditioning units that can serve them in both the summer and winter and will be more cost effective when those bills come around. Businesses of course have been installing air conditioning units for possibly a longer period of time. Server rooms for example need air conditioning systems and are crucial to business from internet service providers to schools. These server rooms require air conditioning in summer and winter alike which can air condition this room 365 days of the year. Theoretically you should only need to use an air conditioner when it is hot and not when it is cold, therefore a standard air conditioning unit will be unable to air condition a server room during the winter, these are no use for server rooms which require air conditioning no matter what the outside temperature is, and this is all important to businesses that are looking for the perfect solution to keep this room cool. A spokesman for Climachill air conditioning specialists in Sussex on the South of the UK said “we only install air conditioning systems which feature a ‘low ambient kit’ which means these systems are able to air condition your server room no matter what the outside temperature is. We have a wealth of experience of installing air conditioning into commercial premises such as retail shop floors, offices, Doctor surgeries, Dental surgeries, restaurants, schools and of course server rooms. All systems that we install have ‘heat pump’ technology so that you can use the system for energy efficient heating during the winter months, except for server rooms which is of course why we offer a low ambient kit” An air conditioning unit is not only for the summer, you can use it in reverse for the winter months. So much has been written about energy efficiency in our homes and businesses, that the Government is encouraging the great British to embrace any such systems and in fact is giving incentives to encourage us all to be more energy efficient.
