For many London homes, air conditioning can be a worthwhile investment, especially if certain rooms become uncomfortably hot every summer or stay warm well into the night during the increasing number of heatwaves we have been experiencing.
Modern systems can provide controlled cooling, precise temperature settings and, in many cases, heating as well. They can be particularly useful in top-floor flats, loft conversions, bedrooms, home offices and properties with large areas of glazing.
Whether air conditioning is worth installing depends on how your home behaves in hot weather, which rooms are affected, how often you expect to use it and what type of system is practical for the property.
