    Best air conditioners to buy UK: UK Air Conditioner Buying Guide

    Air conditioning systems. Not something we think about in the UK until you, your loved ones or colleagues are seriously hot and bothered. That is when you need to know which air conditioner is best to buy and quick. 

    Domestic and commercial air conditioning is not something that we buy all the time in the UK, so you are likely to be at a complete loss as to how to choose the best air conditioner for your home or business. When it comes to the best air conditioning brands, you may have even less starting points.

    To make buying air conditioning in the UK easier, I have put together this quick and simple guide to explain how to buy the best air conditioning system for work or home.

    I have split the information in this handy air conditioning buying guide into two sections:

    •  How to choose the best air conditioning for your home or business.
    •  Which is the best air conditioning system in the UK? 
    •  What are the best air conditioning brands in the UK?

    Here’s your quick guide to buying air conditioning in the UK.

    1.How to choose the best air conditioner.

    When we Brits encounter heatwaves, long, hot spells or stuffy rooms, we invariably find them unbearable. When you live or work in London in particular, the feel of fresh, cool air flowing from a discreet air conditioning system is hard to beat on a sweltering, sticky day in North London or an overly-hot office in Central London.

    Yet, if you are a homeowner or a business in Islington, Canary Wharf or Camden you are probably not well-versed in how to go about choosing a top air conditioner that will pump out chilled air effectively long-term. Use these top tips to help you choose the best air conditioning system for your home or business:


    Type: For the most effective air conditioning you will be looking for a wall mounted split air conditioning unit or central air conditioning, rather than a portable standalone unit.

    BTU: To compare the cooling power of different air conditioning units check the BTU (British Thermal Unit) measurement which tells you how effective the unit will be at cooling down your space. You need around 10,000 BTU for a medium-sized domestic room measuring 24 m2 and around 8,000 BTU for a small room measuring 18 m2. For commercial office space or rooms measuring 36 m2 you should look for about 15,000 BTU. 

    EER: The Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) conveys how energy efficient the air con unit is. The higher the rating, the more efficient the air con system.

    Extras: Handy extra features to look out for are:

    1. a variety of fan speeds so that you can vary the rate of cooling.
    2. a remote control, timer and sleep or night mode are useful practical extras. Night mode will prevent the problem of waking cold if the temperature drops during the night, which it often does in England. 

    Although the advice from manufacturers to the age-old question of whether you should sleep with air conditioning on at night, is that you should cool your room in advance rather than sleeping with the air conditioning on all night. 

    Meanwhile, with a timer function you can set your air con to switch on and off at the times that are convenient for you. An easy way to solve the problem of whether to sleep with the air conditioning on or not. Simply get one with a timer, then it can switch itself off automatically.

    • heating, dehumidifier and fan-only modes are convenient options when the weather changes.
    • a quiet air conditioning system – no-one wants noisy air con.

    2. Which is the best air conditioning system to buy in the UK and what are the best air conditioning brands to look out for:
