One big problem with living in a flat is staying cool during hot summers. Most apartments are prepared for the winter with super-efficient insulation. The same isn’t true in summer. This is when you need to embrace internal air conditioning units for flats.

These systems offer a welcome alternative to popular cooling methods. They also suit the layout and structure of modern flats.

Often, opening a window only draws in warm air. A fan will circulate warm air.

Suppose you are wondering about the benefits of installing a Cool You internal air conditioning solution in your flat. These systems have many benefits.

Below, we explore why our internal air conditioning units are perfect for flats.

1. You don’t need planning permission for our internal air conditioning units for flats

This is one of the biggest reasons for installing a Cool You internal air conditioning unit in your flat. You usually don’t need planning permission.

This is a huge advantage. Traditional air conditioners with external condensers are not permitted in most London apartments.

Not having to request planning permission cuts down on paperwork, and planning and preparation won’t have to take months.

Our internal air conditioning units don’t require planning permission because they don’t directly affect your neighbours or the exterior property.

The solution is self-contained within your apartment. It does not cause any external obstruction. Both the quiet high wall mount and the condenser are tucked away inside. It won’t affect the building’s exterior appearance or disturb your neighbours.

In most cases, planning permission is not needed. However, we always advise you to double-check with your landlord, property manager, or lease to confirm installation is permitted.

2. Retrofit or ideal for a refurbishment

One of the biggest worries when considering an internal air conditioning system is the mess it might create. Will it damage internal walls and decor?

The good news is that installing a Cool You internal air conditioning solution won’t change your existing decor. If you’ve recently decorated, you don’t need to worry about redecorating after installation.

One popular installation option is a retrofit. It works with your existing decor to create a stunning contemporary feature that matches your tastes. The only thing on show is the wall-mount, which blows air into the room. This is ideal for all London apartments, including listed properties and new builds.

If you’re undergoing a refurbishment or renovation, we also have a ducted unit that could work for you. We’ll coordinate with your contractor and install the unit during construction, so it can be incorporated into the overall design and kept completely hidden.

3. Modern and sleek design for internal air conditioning units

Cool You’s internal air conditioning units are sleek, modern, and perfect for contemporary living.

They require no outside condensing unit, as the condenser is installed discreetly within the flat.

The condenser can be anywhere in the property, but in most cases, it’s housed under the sink or in a cupboard. This is made possible because the condenser is incredibly compact.

We design ultra-contemporary air conditioning solutions with sleek and easy-to-use features.

The wall-mount unit is sleek and white, with no branding visible. It also has unique features like Wifi control and iFeel temperature. Just as our homes are equipped with the very latest technology for cooking and lighting our homes, the Cool You solution will blend effortlessly into a tech-friendly and modern apartment.

4. Quiet air conditioning system

Most people assume that air conditioners are noisy when switched on. This is not true with a Cool You internal solution.

Our system is whisper-quiet, even when set on high, operating at just 26 decibels. This is ideal if you work from home or don’t want a noisy unit interrupting family movie night.

If you prefer to sleep with the air conditioning, then our whisper-quiet technology is perfect. It won’t keep you awake; instead, it will improve your sleep quality by keeping you cool and comfortable.

Quiet internal air conditioning units are good for you day and night, and they are also great for your neighbours.

When you live so close, you don’t want to hear your neighbours. They also don’t want to hear your noisy air con unit. So Cool You is a perfect option for apartment owners.

5. Blackout system in the bedroom

Space is often limited in small flats. If you choose to have the air conditioning unit in your bedroom, the good news is that it comes with a blackout option.

This means no bright lights or flashing LEDs while the system operates.

This will prevent your room from being flooded with light while you sleep, which could otherwise wake you up.

This blackout feature is also useful in an open-plan flat. It creates a sense of calm and reduces distractions as you sit, watch TV, eat dinner, unwind or have guests over.

It’s also a great feature if you work from home in an open-plan room.

6. Controlled via WiFi

The entire air conditioning system is Wi-Fi enabled and can be controlled via the front panel or the remote control.

So, if you are in the kitchen and the unit is in the living room, you can use the remote or our app on your smartphone to lower or raise the room temperature.

You can do this from anywhere in your flat, so you can work and move as you wish. You can also do this anywhere worldwide, perfect for those concerned about leaving the air con on while away.

Switching from the front of the unit to the remote control is also instantaneous and very easy.

Just push a button. The iFeel feature also lets you adjust the temperature in the immediate space around you.
