Air conditioning in Leatherhead homes can make a real difference to your comfort. Heat pumps will warm your home in winter and cool it in summer, improving your quality of life in an energy-efficient way.
Acclimatise has recently installed heat pump technology in several attic bedrooms and loft conversions, helping homeowners who have maximised their space to get more from their home improvements.
Let’s take a closer look.
What are the benefits of loft conversions?
Using the loft area is a great way to gain more space at home. Rooms in roof space often have unusual shapes and loads of character too. They are ideal as extra bedrooms, home offices, sewing rooms and music rooms. Countless homeowners have extended their living spaces in this way, taking advantage of the existing structure of the house, gaining space without increasing the footprint of the property.
The only downside is that the new rooms can get quite hot and stuffy.
Why do attic rooms get so hot?
Attic rooms can be hotter than the rest of the house for several reasons. The heat from the rest of the house rises, collecting at the highest point and making attic bedrooms and home offices uncomfortable.
These rooms are also directly under the roof, meaning that they don’t benefit from the same insulation as the rest of the house. The roof tiles absorb heat, and without the rest of the house to disperse it, attic rooms heat up considerably.
Fortunately, air conditioning can solve this problem and help you get the most out of your extra space.
How can air conditioning make attic rooms more comfortable?
Air to air heat pumps work by extracting heat from the air and pumping it outside, leaving you with a cooler room. They also work to warm a room, extracting heat from the outside air and pumping it inside. Find out more about how a heat pump works here.
Many people choose to have air conditioning in the room where they need it most, and not in the whole house. This is great news for energy efficiency – you can turn it on separately as and when you need it. It also means you can control the temperature of your attic room separately from the rest of the house.
