Cooling

Cooling a home environment during bouts of extreme heat provides much-needed respite from thermal discomfort and protects occupants for heat-related illnesses, such as heat stroke. Cooling systems are becoming a necessity in the UK as the nation experiences more frequent, intense, and prolonged heat waves in the summer months. Below are the two types of mechanisms that help reduce indoor temperatures, or at least provide a flow of fresh air during hot weather events.

• Air conditioners: These include central, floor-mounted, ductless, window, and portable air conditioners
• Fans: These include pedestal, neck, deck, ceiling-mounted, and  tower fans
