We can quickly identify what’s possible in your circumstances. What it is that you need. Where everything should go and what sort of budget you’re looking at.
Portable air conditioning units
You may need a simple portable unit if you live in a small space. They are cheap and easily installed in a space requiring cooling.
These units plug into a standard electrical outlet and can cool a small room.
There’s no disruptive installation process with a portable unit. However, mobile units can take up much-needed space in the room you are cooling. Plus, they are noisy and don’t blend in with their surroundings.
Most importantly, you must open a window to remove the hot air. The portable unit needs to vent to the outside.
Opening a window isn’t ideal if you live in a ground-floor flat and must keep windows closed for security reasons.
Through-the-wall air conditioning
Alternatively, you might be best off with a through-the-wall unit to air condition small rooms.
They require holes made to the exterior property. So, if you live in a listed building or have strict planning permissions, you are unlikely to be allowed this option.
Conventional air conditioning
Conventional air conditioning is the best solution for an outside condenser unit on a wall, roof, or patio.
However, most London apartment blocks won’t allow them. Management and planning permissions are required to place the external condenser outside.
While these units are cheaper than entirely internal solutions, they might not necessarily be more cost-effective. If you consider scaffolding, length of pipe run and future maintenance access, they can cost more.
Internal air conditioning
In most cases, you have probably already considered the options above, only to be told you are not allowed a conventional air conditioning unit.
That’s why our entirely internal air conditioning solutions for apartments are ideal.
An entirely internal air conditioning solution offers the same quality and no compromise performance as a conventional system without needing an outdoor condenser unit.
The difference is that it’s fully contained within your property, eliminating the need for any external penetrations, permissions and planning consents that can sometimes make getting air conditioning a significant headache and expense.
Suppose you are looking to air condition a finished apartment. In that case, these systems result in minimal or no disruption or redecoration required.
Cool You: Air Conditioning Solutions For Your Apartment – How They Work
Cool You’s internal systems have two components: a wall mount and a condenser box.
We mount the wall unit in the room to be cooled and connected to a condenser. We aim to install the condenser in a concealed spot in your flat, typically in a utility or boiler room.
Refrigeration pipework connects both units. Our engineers will endeavour to hide the pipework in cavity walls or ceilings.
The system works exactly like a conventional system with an outside condenser. The only difference is that an external condenser uses the air outside to dissipate the heat.
The only way to remove the heat with an internal condenser is to use mains cold water.
Everything is done internally within your property with no external box to worry about, making it the ideal option for London apartment owners.
