Yet in the UK, with often extreme summers and increasingly warmer seasons in general, there's never been a better time for homeowners to invest in a home AC unit. Just as keeping warm in the colder weather is good for our health and wellbeing, so too is keeping cool and refreshed throughout those hotter spells.
At City Plumbing, we’re proud stockists of a vast selection of AC units, of which all are competitively priced. Here, we explore the different types of indoor AC units, including portable air conditioning, packaged air conditioning, and evaporative coolers, to help you help your customers make an informed decision.
The Best Types of Home Air Conditioning Units
Three types of AC units are ideal for customers to use in and around the home, including portable, and packaged, as well as evaporative coolers. By helping your customers take the time to research and compare different units, they can ensure they make the best choice for their home.
Portable Air Conditioning
- Portable air conditioners are versatile units that can be moved from room to room, providing targeted cooling where it's needed most.
- These units are ideal for homeowners who are looking for a temporary cooling solution or who do not have the space or budget for a larger, permanent air conditioning system.
- Portable air conditioners are easy to install and operate, making them a convenient option for those who want to cool specific areas of their home.
Packaged Air Conditioning
- Packaged air conditioning systems are self-contained units that are typically installed outside of the home.
- These units are designed to provide whole-home cooling and can be connected to ductwork to distribute cool air throughout the house.
- Packaged air conditioning systems are energy-efficient and can help homeowners save money on their energy bills in the long run.
Evaporative Coolers
- Evaporative coolers, also known as swamp coolers, are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional air conditioning systems.
- These units use water to cool the air, making them more energy-efficient and cost-effective to operate.
- Evaporative coolers are best suited for dry climates where humidity levels are low, as they require dry air to function effectively.
