Calitgas, a leading company in the gas and heating installation sector, has unveiled a new practical guide aimed at those planning to add an air conditioning system to their homes or businesses. This document aims to provide users with detailed and relevant information on the technical aspects, regulations, and comfort considerations that should be taken into account before starting any air conditioning project.
The guide underlines the importance of conducting a thorough analysis of the space where the installation will take place. Factors such as the size of the room, its orientation, the number of windows, and the level of insulation are key elements in choosing the right system. Calitgas points out that there are various types of air conditioning systems, such as split systems, which are optimal for small spaces, and multi-split or duct systems, more suitable for large or commercial areas.
A crucial point covered in the guide is the energy efficiency of the equipment. The company advises selecting models rated A+++, as they not only help reduce electricity consumption but also offer quieter operation and higher performance. To facilitate this choice, they recommend paying attention to the coefficient of performance (COP) and the energy label of the device.
Beyond technical aspects, Calitgas’s guide also includes regulatory and safety requirements that must be met. Certain installations utilizing specific refrigerants require periodic reviews and maintenance carried out by accredited professionals, to ensure compliance with current regulations on fluorinated gases. Moreover, both the equipment and the installation process must adhere to the Thermal Installations in Buildings Regulation (RITE) and local regulations concerning emissions and noise.
Regarding thermal comfort, Calitgas emphasizes that choosing an air conditioning system should not be limited to its cooling or heating capacity. Proper air distribution, zoning options, purification filters, and dehumidification functions are aspects that significantly contribute to overall well-being within the space. With a proper installation, not only is temperature regulated, but also the indoor air quality is improved, and energy usage is optimized.
For those interested in air conditioning installation, Calitgas’s team of experts offers personalized advice, ensuring that the process is efficient and meets the specific needs of each client. This approach aims not only to facilitate air conditioning but also to ensure it is carried out safely and in accordance with current regulations.
