How to Prevent Water Leaks (7 Simple Home Maintenance Tips)
Leak Detection
Protect your home from water leaks with 7 simple maintenance tips. Insulate pipes, inspect your roof, and install leak detectors to save money on repairs.
Picture this: it’s a sweltering 30°C afternoon, and your home feels like an oven. You open the windows and switch on the fans, but nothing shifts the heat. Sound familiar? As UK summers get longer and hotter, more homeowners and businesses are choosing air conditioning to stay cool indoors.
But what is air conditioning – and how exactly does it work in everyday settings like Dorset homes and small offices?
To be as concise as possible, air conditioning removes heat and humidity from indoor air and recirculates filtered, cooled air back into your space. It doesn’t generate cold air from scratch. Instead, it extracts heat and cools the air in a controlled cycle. This helps maintain a comfortable indoor climate and enhances air quality.
In this guide, we’ll go into more detail on how air conditioning works and touch on the different systems available in the UK. Plus, we’ll show how Greenstar’s trusted installations in Dorset help make homes and workspaces fresher and healthier.
An air conditioning system controls indoor temperature, humidity, and air quality. It removes heat from your space and sends it outside, resulting in cleaner, fresher air that feels better to breathe – especially on hot, sticky days!
People often associate air conditioning with summer cooling. However, modern dual-mode air conditioners offer heating as well, making them perfect for year-round use in homes and small commercial spaces.
At Greenstar, we offer personalised air conditioning solutions for Dorset homes and businesses. We handle everything from small flats to complete office installations. Our systems provide effective climate control while maintaining energy efficiency.
The basic idea behind air conditioning is simple: remove unwanted heat and recirculate cooler air. Most systems rely on a closed-loop refrigeration cycle. This cycle uses a refrigerant, a liquid that absorbs heat indoors and releases it outside.
Here’s how the cycle works:
This process happens continually, keeping your space cool and indoor air clean. At Greenstar, we install Bosch air conditioning systems. They work quietly and efficiently, making them ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and shared offices.
Thinking about installation? Check out our air conditioning installation page. You’ll find how we help you pick the right system, including smart controls and zoning options.
The best air conditioning system for your home or office depends on the number of rooms you need to control, your layout, and how visible you want the units to be.
Perfect for single rooms like bedrooms, lofts, or home studies. These units consist of one indoor and one outdoor section with energy-efficient cooling and work with very little noise.
These connect multiple indoor units to a single outdoor unit, giving you room-by-room control. Great for homes or offices with several zones to cool.
This is a more discreet solution for larger homes or commercial buildings. These systems circulate cooled or heated air through hidden vents, keeping walls clear and airflow even throughout the space.
At Greenstar, we carry out a full property survey to recommend the best system for your needs. Every installation meets UK safety standards, including compliance with F-Gas and building regulations.
Air conditioning does more than just cool a room. It boosts comfort, supports well-being, and helps save energy.
