3 Common Internal Air Conditioning Mistakes

Did you know people make some really common air conditioning mistakes when buying or considering buying a fully internal system? Savva, Managing Director of Cool You, is here to give you the heads up on the most common mistakes people make and how to avoid them.

Three Air Conditioning Mistakes

Number one: not spending enough

Everyone wants to save money, so it’s tempting to cut corners on any purchase we make these days. However, one of the top air conditioning mistakes is not investing enough money in the initial purchase.

Air conditioning is a significant investment and will keep your home cool and welcoming for many years. Making sure you spend the right amount of money now could save you a fortune, especially when considering the other points in this list.

Don’t make mistake number one, and try to save money by purchasing a product that doesn’t suit your needs.

Buying a ‘budget’ AC unit from a company that won’t support you means you won’t have a system that lasts very long. Very little help if and when things do go wrong.

Remember that a fully internal system means minimal or no disruption to your existing décor. So, it’s worth considering how this can save you money in the long run, too.

There are no redecorating or refurbishing costs, something which can’t always be avoided with conventional AC units.

All Cool You wall-mounted AC units can be controlled by WiFi. Meaning you can switch them on and off from anywhere in the world.

This gives you ultimate control and can save you a fortune in energy costs compared with non-WiFi-enabled units. So, the price isn’t always in the installation, and you might find hidden costs even with seemingly ‘cheaper’ AC solutions.

With that in mind, it’s clear that a fully internal air conditioning system offers plenty of savings.

Number two: the wrong product

On a similar note, make sure you’re not choosing a product that isn’t right for you simply because you haven’t taken the right advice.

Our second contender for top air conditioning mistakes is not checking what kind of air conditioning unit will really suit your space.

By this, we mean that you don’t want a unit that is either too big or doesn’t have the correct airflow for your particular room.

For example, you don’t want something too aggressive in the bedroom, as this will keep you awake and uncomfortable.

For AC in the bedroom, Cool You customers enjoy our blackout feature, which turns all LEDs and flashing lights off. This ensures sleep isn’t interrupted by the AC’s power lights.

This is just one example of how talking to an experienced professional can get you a better result.

Another feature many enjoy in our solutions is how whisper-quiet they are. This is great for sleeping and is also perfect if your unit is in your living room. You no longer have to turn the TV up to the top volume!

If the unit is for your living room? You might sit for a few hours watching TV, watching a movie, or playing video games.

You don’t want the unit blowing at the back of your neck and causing muscular pain.

Cool You provides a function called iFEEL. Using your controller as a remote thermostat helps create a micro-climate for the ideal temperature wherever you are in your home.

The type of product is so important when considering your AC needs.

Positioning and unit type are just two of many considerations. The only way to ensure all the areas of concern have been considered is with a detailed site survey from an experienced surveyor.

Number three: no support

Another common mistake AC buyers make is choosing a company that offers limited support.

Does the company you choose to have its own in-house engineers? Will they come back to look after your product in the coming years?

You might believe that you purchased a fantastic product on day one. However, you need a product that will last and that you can rely upon for years to come.

And on the rare occasion that something goes wrong, you want a team that will be there year after year to help you with any problems, whether maintenance, repairs, or parts replacements.

Cool. You have in-house engineers. We provide an industry-leading six-year maintenance and warranty service. We also carry all the required spare parts. We will also sign you up for our maintenance programme.

We typically attend your property once a year. However, this might change depending on your application.

We keep your details on our database, and when we visit you annually, we maintain and service your AC equipment to ensure it runs optimally.

You’ll only be invoiced after the maintenance visit. There is no risk of paying upfront only to have an engineer let you down or fail to show. You only ever pay for work and service once it’s done.

We always agree on a mutually convenient time. This makes the whole process easy for you, our customer.

We also have a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week helpline should any emergencies with your solution arise.

Ultimately, we’re with you every step of the way. This starts from the moment you make an initial enquiry via the phone or our website, right through to the years to come when we look after your top-of-the-line internal AC equipment for you.

We are there for you. You are a customer with us for life; this is the Cool You experience.
