3 Reasons Why Air Con is a Must-Have For SW London Properties

Air con installations in SW London are becoming more popular than ever before as a combination of environmental and geographical factors have encouraged more homeowners to place a priority on their comfort. Today we’ll be taking a look at the three main reasons why South West London’s residents are choosing to install air conditioning as well as how a new air con installation might benefit you.

1. Urban Heat Islands

As a major capital city, London is prone to a phenomenon known as Urban Heat Islands. An urban heat island (or UHI) occurs when concrete areas absorb far less heat than their surrounding rural counterparts during excessive warm weather. The end result is that they reflect that heat, creating an area of the city where the effects of heat waves can be seriously amplified.

Not only is this naturally frustrating and uncomfortable for local inhabitants but it can also be dangerous for the elderly/vulnerable for whom staying hydrated may prove more of a challenge.

2. Long Term Necessity

It should also be noted that air con installation in SW London, much like the rest of the UK, is becoming more of a necessity year on year. Due to our changing climate, temperatures are rising year on year with days exceeding 30°C and even 35°C becoming increasingly common in mid-summer.

Unlike central heating, air conditioning has traditionally been seen as something of a luxury in the UK. This is not the case worldwide and, as summer temperatures continue to climb, our national attitude is beginning to shift. In a few years, air conditioning will probably be viewed as another vital utility for the running of a property.

3. Property Value

Last but certainly not least, it’s important to keep in mind that air con installation in SW London could seriously raise the value of your property. For many renters/first-time buyers, having air conditioning already installed is a real luxury, especially if they feel it might save them money and hassle in the long run.

As air-con technology becomes more efficient – not to mention more widespread – it’s only natural that more and more people are choosing to increase the value of their homes while improving their own comfort.
