How Does Air Conditioning Heat Your Home?

An air-to-air heat pump transfers heat from the outside air into your home. An indoor unit distributes warm air directly into the room, rather than heating water for radiators.

Because it moves heat rather than generating all of it directly from electricity, a suitable system can deliver several units of heat for each unit of electricity used. Its efficiency depends on the model, outdoor temperature and how it is installed and operated.

The same system can also cool your rooms during summer, providing heating and cooling from one installation.

Reduce Your Reliance on Heating Oil

If you regularly run your oil boiler to warm the living room or home office, installing air conditioning in that space could reduce the amount of oil you use.

You can heat the rooms you occupy without needing to run the entire central heating system, particularly during milder weather or when only part of the house needs warmth.

This can be useful for people working from home, households with rooms that are rarely used, or anyone wanting more control over their heating.

Keep Your Existing Oil Boiler

You don’t necessarily need to remove your oil boiler to benefit from air conditioning.

A system can be installed in one room or several rooms and used alongside your existing heating. Your boiler can continue providing hot water and heating areas without an indoor unit, while air conditioning heats the spaces you use most.

A standard wall-mounted air-conditioning system heats room air; it does not supply your taps, shower or existing radiators.

Is Air Conditioning Cheaper to Run Than Oil Heating?

Air conditioning can offer lower heating costs in some homes, but the comparison depends on your electricity tariff, heating oil price, boiler efficiency and the performance of the proposed system.

How you use your heating also matters. Heating one occupied room has different running costs from maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout the house.

During our site visit, we can assess the rooms you want to heat, discuss your existing system and recommend suitable equipment. Any estimated running costs should be based on the proposed model and your energy prices.

Heating in Winter, Cooling in Summer

Installing air conditioning gives you more than an alternative source of heating.

You can use the same system to cool bedrooms, living rooms and home offices during hot weather. Room temperature controls and timers help you manage comfort throughout the year, with Wi-Fi control available on selected models.

We select equipment to suit the room and its heating requirements, including its performance in colder weather.
