Have you been told ‘no’ to air conditioning in your apartment? Or do you not fancy having an ugly, noisy box installed on the exterior of your property? There are many people who suffer all year round due to having no air conditioning in their apartment. At Cool You, we have worked with lots of clients in this same situation.
Simply put, these London apartment owners want air conditioning to cool their apartment. Yet they’ve hit a dead-end with building regulations that prohibit conventional air conditioning systems.
If this sounds like you, you’ll be happy to know that we specialise in a solution that sidesteps this problem.
What is a conventional air conditioning system?
A conventional system is one that’s composed of a large condenser box installed on the exterior of the property.
This box extracts warm air from inside the property through a vent. This vent goes through the external wall, replacing warm air with cool air to make the internal space feel comfortable. This unit is noisy, it looks hideous, and many London apartments can’t have one installed. Other prohibitive features include:
- The property is listed and protected against alterations to the exterior.
- Exterior features are compromised by the installation.
- The apartment is on the ground floor or doesn’t have outside space.
- Strict noise regulations in the area.
- And much more.
What’s the alternative?
So you have no air conditioning in your apartment, and you’ve found that a conventional system isn’t possible for you.
Here are some of your options:
Portable unit
You might have considered a portable unit. These are large boxes that sit in the room. What many people don’t realise is that they make a lot of noise when running. They also need to connect to the outside with a hose – which means leaving a window open.
A portable unit does nothing to stop the humidity. It is also inefficient because it doesn’t stop the hot air from coming in. Add that to its bulky presence in the room and the unpleasant noise it makes, and it really isn’t a desirable option. It’s cheap and cheerful, but it means you have to make a lot of compromises.
Fan
The most common thing people turn to is the humble fan. It’s the fastest option if you’re sweltering in your apartment.
While they feel great when they are blowing are on you, there are still some significant weaknesses:
- They do nothing for overall room temperature, no matter how long you keep them running.
- They are not helpful for humidity, which is one of the most uncomfortable aspects of hot weather.
- You only feel it working when it’s pointing directly at you.
Essentially, if you sit in front of the fan you will experience the evaporative cooling effect on your skin. But as soon as you move out of its range, you will still feel the unpleasant, uncomfortable heat that is causing the problem.
A fan can work as a stop-gap when you have nothing else, but it is not a long-term solution. If you have considered both these solutions and still feel at a loss, there is an elegant solution that’s perfect for you.
So what’s the answer?
