After some warm weeks in March, we’re already receiving orders for air conditioning in Farnborough homes. If you’ve never had air conditioning at home before, you might be wondering where it will go and what it will look like.
In this blog, we look at the best location for your heat pump.
Outdoors
The outdoor part of the heat pump works by drawing air in and extracting heat or coolness from it. For this reason, it’s a good idea to make sure there is plenty of space around it for maximum air flow. Heat pumps are relatively quiet. However, you should still put the outside unit where the noise is not likely to disturb you or your neighbours. Don’t install it directly under your bedroom window, for example, or on your patio if you enjoy sitting outside on a warm evening.
With a heat pump, you don’t have to worry about whether you position it in the warmest or coolest place on the outside of your property. This is because, unlike other air conditioning systems, heat pumps work to both cool your home in the summer and warm it in winter.
Indoors
The indoor part of your air conditioning heat pump system does the job of cooling or heating your home. Many people choose to heat or cool their main living area like the living room, kitchen or open plan ground floor. For other homeowners, the main reason for installing air conditioning is so they can get a good night’s sleep in hot weather. In these circumstances, the bedroom is the obvious place to install the indoor unit.
Acclimatise also install air conditioning in buildings separate from your main home, like garden rooms and workshops. This is a great solution as it enables homeowners to heat and cool their garden room separately. Unlike houses, garden rooms don’t usually need their own central heating system, but they do benefit from a heating and cooling system you can turn off and on as you need it.
Whichever room you choose to heat and cool with your heat pump, you should position the indoor unit where it can heat or cool the maximum area. Acclimatise usually install indoor units on an external wall as it gives a neater and tidier finish, avoiding the necessity of having internal trunking, and allows the warmed or cooled air to circulate freely reaching as much of the room as possible.
