Home air conditioning

Make the rooms you use more comfortable.

FLO checks the rooms you want to heat or cool, where units could go and how to keep operation quiet and practical.

Every property is different. The free survey checks what is possible before you commit to a system.

Scottish home with a discreet indoor air-conditioning unit and outdoor renewable equipment

The answer you need

What should a home air-conditioning assessment decide?

It should establish which rooms need control, their heating and cooling loads, suitable indoor and outdoor positions, pipe and drain routes, electrical work and how the system will be operated.

The property-specific checks

What will FLO check for your property?

We use these details to work out what is practical, what needs more investigation and what the next step should be.

01

Room load

Assess glazing, orientation, fabric, occupancy and equipment rather than floor area alone.

02

Air and sound

Position units for useful air movement without direct draughts or avoidable neighbour impact.

03

Routes

Resolve refrigerant pipework, condensate drainage, power and future service access.

Good to know

Questions you may have.

Can home air conditioning heat efficiently?+

Modern reversible systems are air-to-air heat pumps and can provide efficient zoned heat. Suitability depends on layout, cold-weather duty and how hot water is handled.

Can the indoor unit go above a bed?+

It may be physically possible, but airflow, noise, access and condensate routes need to be considered against how the room is used.

Will the outdoor unit disturb neighbours?+

Model choice and position both matter. Check sound data, distance, reflections, boundaries and operating hours for the actual location.

What might change the recommendation?+

Air-to-air systems normally do not provide wet radiators or domestic hot water. Whole-home heating claims should account for room layout, door patterns and the separate hot-water solution.
