FAQ’s

  • Air conditioning is much more than just a way to cool down a room. A modern system provides a complete climate control solution for your home or business, offering year-round comfort, energy efficiency, and a healthier indoor environment.

    Year-Round Comfort: Heating and Cooling

    The primary benefit of a modern air conditioning system is its ability to provide both cooling in the summer and heating in the winter. Using efficient heat pump technology, a single system can keep your space at the perfect temperature all year long. This means you no longer need separate heating and cooling systems, saving you space and simplifying your home's climate control.

    • Cooling: On hot summer days, the system cools your space by transferring heat from the inside to the outside, providing a welcome escape from rising temperatures.

    • Heating: When the weather turns cold, the same system reverses its process, drawing warmth from the outside air and moving it indoors. This makes it an incredibly energy-efficient way to heat your property, often cheaper to run than traditional central heating systems.

    Health and Air Quality Benefits

    Beyond temperature control, air conditioning significantly improves the quality of the air you breathe. This is a crucial, but often overlooked, benefit. Most modern systems are equipped with advanced air filtration to remove common pollutants and allergens.

    • Cleaner Air: The filters trap and remove dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles, making the air cleaner and easier to breathe. This can be a major benefit for people with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions.

    • Reduced Humidity: Air conditioning systems also dehumidify the air as they cool it. This not only makes the air feel more comfortable but also helps prevent the growth of mould and mildew, which can thrive in humid conditions and cause health problems.

    • Fewer Pollutants: The filtration process can also reduce your exposure to harmful bacteria and toxins, contributing to a healthier living or working environment.

  • We understand you want a new air conditioning system with as little disruption as possible. The good news is that most domestic installations are completed very quickly.

    For a standard single or twin split system, our trained engineers can usually complete the entire installation in just one day. This includes mounting the indoor and outdoor units, connecting the pipework, and fully commissioning the system to ensure it works perfectly.

    We aim to keep any disruption to your home to an absolute minimum, allowing you to enjoy a comfortable, cool environment in no time

  • Yes, we can. Cool Britannia A/C is fully equipped to maintain and repair air conditioning systems from any manufacturer, regardless of who originally installed them.

    It's common for us to take on the repair and maintenance of systems we didn't install, including those that have been out of use for a while, such as in vacant retail outlets.

    During your first maintenance visit, we'll perform a thorough assessment of your existing system and provide clear recommendations for any necessary repairs or replacements. Our goal is to get your air conditioning running efficiently and reliably, no matter its history.

  • We are Fully Qualified and Accredited with the F-Gas Register. When you choose Cool Britannia A/C, you can be confident you're working with professionals who follow the highest standards. We are F-Gas registered, which means we are certified to handle and manage fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) in accordance with the latest environmental regulations. Our team is also fully qualified in all aspects of air conditioning, refrigeration, and heat pump installation.

  • The F-Gas Regulations are UK rules to reduce the use and release of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases), which are powerful greenhouse gases. The main F-gases are HFCs, often found in air conditioning, refrigeration, and heat pumps.

    These regulations require businesses and individuals to:

    Keep records of F-gases used.

    Repair systems to minimize leaks.

    Recover and recycle F-gases from decommissioned systems.

    Train employees who handle them.

    The goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect the environment from F-gas impacts, and promote the use of lower global warming potential alternatives.

    As of July 4, 2009, it is a legal requirement for any business that installs, maintains, or services stationary refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump equipment containing F-gas refrigerants to have a valid F-gas Company Certificate.

  • TM44 inspections are legally required in the UK every five years for air conditioning systems with a total cooling or heating capacity over 12kW.

    The TM44 inspection report helps you save money and energy. It analyzes your system's performance, identifies inefficiencies, and suggests ways to improve energy use and lower operating costs. The inspection examines various components, including refrigeration units, ducts, and controls. Once completed, an accredited inspector will issue a certificate and register it on the government's central registry.
