Our houses are built for rain at a moment’s notice but not for temperatures more commonly associated with the Mediterranean. As warmer summers have become a more regular occurrence over the last few years, it raises the question: Is buying an air conditioner in the UK worthwhile?
Air conditioning units do not come as standard in British homes. Fortunately, portable air conditioners are relatively cheap to purchase and do not need to be installed or maintained by a technician as a built-in unit would need to be. Companies such as AllAir offer a range of different high-quality products for different needs, all of which come with free shipping, a 14-day refund money-back guarantee, and, most importantly, a parts and repairs service to help you keep your units running for as long as possible and get you that value for money long-term.
AllAir’s products all use smart technology, which makes them even easier to use, as you can control the AC unit from your phone app without having to move from the sofa, or so that you can make sure that your room is already cool by the time that you get home from work. With the use of the latest technology and such good customer support available to support you in maintaining your unit, AllAir decides to purchase an air conditioning unit that seems economically worthwhile.
In addition, AllAir’s portable AC units come in 3 different types - designed to help cool rooms of different sizes. Their 5000 BTU model is designed for rooms up to 18 square metres in size, their 8000 BTU for rooms up to 24 square metres, and the 12000 BTU for rooms up to 26 square metres. All 3 models have a temperature range of 17-35°C, a battery-powered remote control, a weekly timer, a quieter sleep mode option, and come with wheels for easy moving, an exhaust hose and relevant accessories, and an instruction manual.
However, even if efficient, valuable air conditioning unit options like those from AllAir are on the market, is it worthwhile to buy one in the UK? While it may not seem cost-effective for perhaps a few weeks a year, the large temperature range extends the usability of such equipment and is also more likely to be increasingly useful as the weather continues to shift with the impact of climate change. Additionally, high outdoor temperatures and poor indoor ventilation can be a dangerous combination for many, and we should adjust our homes to summer weather with air conditioning as much as we do to winter weather with heating, where possible. In the long term, air conditioning is a worthwhile purchase in the UK.
