Wall mounted air conditioning units are a widely popular option for cooling or heating indoor spaces. They are the most common type of air conditioning system in the UK, being efficient, easy to install, and affordable. If you’re looking to install a wall mounted air conditioning unit for your home, shop, or office, the information below will guide you in selecting the best unit for your needs.
One of the primary advantages of wall mounted air conditioning units is that they are exceptionally quiet, making them ideal for bedrooms or other areas that require minimum noise levels. They are also incredibly energy efficient, helping to reduce your energy bills. Most modern units can also provide both cooling and heating, making them a year round solution to temperature control.
Wall mounted air conditioning units should be installed by professionals to ensure proper installation and optimal performance. They should be positioned at a high level on the wall, providing an even airflow throughout the room. With larger rooms, multiple air conditioning units may be necessary to ensure that all areas are adequately covered and no “hotspots” are created. While some installers may suggest installing one powerful unit to reduce costs, it is recommended to use multiple smaller units instead. This will ensure that the air balance is just right, eliminating gusts and reducing noise to provide the correct amount of cooling or heating. Take a look at a recent case study to learn more
In terms of aesthetics, wall mounted air conditioning units are not necessarily the most attractive. However, brands such as Samsung and Daikin offer sleek and slimline designs that blend well with modern interiors.
Selecting the perfect wall mounted air conditioning system for your needs can be challenging, given the plethora of manufacturers worldwide. The price of a unit doesn’t always reflect its technical specifications. Often, a cheaper unit is just as efficient as an expensive one and the difference in price can be attributed to the brand or aesthetics.
