We have air conditioning in our cars, offices, gyms and shops. Why not in our homes?
With temperatures rising above 37 degrees last year, the 31st July reaching one of the hottest days on record, it exposes homeowners every year to the poor design in UK houses when it comes to keeping us cool.
Many people invest in their homes to keep heat in, such as cavity wall insulation, but how many of us think about those sweltering summers and restless nights with just the whirring of a fan to cool us down.
That’s where air conditioning can provide the perfect solution.
