Air Conditioning installation

Air conditioning units work by removing the warm air from inside your home and pumping it outside, while releasing the cool air back into the room, reducing the temperature. When liquid becomes gas, it absorbs heat, and in principle, this is how they function.

It typically takes between 4-8 hours to install home air conditioning, however this can vary depending on the complexity of the job, size of your home, and how many units are being installed.

If you are looking for efficient heating, many people are now turning to split system air conditioning units because they transfer heat rather than “create” heat. It’s not uncommon now for a modern air conditioning system to provide 3+kW of heating performance for every 1kW used to run the system.
