Air Conditioning for Schools

The best type of air conditioning system for schools will depend on the specific needs and requirements of the school. However, some popular options for schools include central air conditioning, wall mounted units, suspended ceiling units, split-systems and ductless mini-split air conditioning. Central air conditioning systems such as wall mounted units are ideal for larger buildings with multiple rooms and can provide even cooling throughout the entire building. Split-system AC units are more cost-effective and can be used to cool individual classrooms. Ducted air conditioning units are a good option for schools that do not have ductwork installed and can be more energy-efficient than other options. It is important to consult with our professional HVAC engineers to determine the best unit and browse our range of school air conditioning systems.

Air conditioning in schools requires regular maintenance to ensure that they continue to function effectively and efficiently. This includes cleaning the filters and coils, checking the refrigerant levels, and inspecting the ductwork for leaks or damage. Regular maintenance can also help to extend the lifespan of the unit and prevent breakdowns

There are several tips for using air conditioning in classrooms, including setting the thermostat at an appropriate temperature, using fans to circulate the air, and closing windows and doors to prevent warm air from entering the room. It is also important to ensure that the unit is properly sized for the room, as an oversized or undersized unit can lead to inefficient operation and increased energy costs. The three most important tips for using school air conditioning units are: Set the thermostat at an appropriate temperature, usually between 72 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit Use fans to circulate the air and create a more even temperature throughout the room Close windows and doors to prevent warm air from entering the room and making the unit work harder

Air conditioning is essential in school buildings as it helps create a comfortable learning environment. It regulates the temperature, ensuring that students and staff can focus on their studies without being affected by extreme heat or cold. Air conditioning also improves indoor air quality, reducing the spread of airborne allergens and improving overall ventilation.

Yes, our air conditioning units contribute to improved indoor air quality in schools. They filter out airborne particles, including dust, pollen, and allergens, reducing their presence in the air. Well-maintained air conditioning systems provide proper ventilation, ensuring a continuous supply of fresh outdoor air and preventing the buildup of stale indoor air.

When properly maintained and operated by our qualified technicians, air conditioning systems pose no significant health risks. Regular maintenance, including filter cleaning or replacement, helps prevent the accumulation of mould, bacteria, and allergens. It is essential to follow proper ventilation practices and ensure that air conditioning units are well-maintained to promote a healthy indoor environment.

Modern air conditioning units are designed to operate quietly and minimise noise distractions in classrooms. However, occasional noise issues may arise due to factors such as improper installation or maintenance. It is important to address any noise concerns promptly by contacting our qualified technicians to assess and resolve the issue.
