I am thinking of installing aircon in my conservatory and as I know nothing of these things I would apppreciate advice from those who know 😉
All the walls are stripped to bare brick at the moment whilst flood restoration is being done so all the pipework can be buried.
Heat in cold weather is as important as cooling.
Do any systems work in reverse as heat pumps and how much will it cost?Steve
Re: Aircon
Hi,
As far as Aircon systems go avoid the type like B & Q sell especially the ones that look like dehumidifiers with a attach hose that you poke out of the window.
Choose a true split system, most if not all of these have heat pumps to provide heating as well as cooling and there own air recirc or dehumidifier functions. Choose a system with a decent compressor like Hitachi or the Carrier systems are good value. I installed my own in a recording studio a couple of years back and its all common sense. You need to take care with the site of the installation as regards ceiling heights, air flow and of course electrical and drainage considerations.
Most have hand held remotes to control the inside unit. Try a pick a shaded area for the outside unit not exposed to direct sunlight or natrual heat trap in the summer.Costs vary but Ebay has interesting deals ! calculate your room size and there are online coefficient calculators on line to work it all out.
Hope this helps
Re: Aircon
Hi Steve,
Do you still have an account with Whirlpool spares ??
The latest friends and family is just out with a full range of split units, easy to fit, quiet in operation and the price is good.

Hi John
I need to check out the spec on those new Whirlpool units but the Whirlpool website doesn’t have aircon on it.
Can you point me in the right direction please.
BTW my Whirlpool account is still active.Steve
