Air conditioning is becoming increasingly popular in the UK, particularly due to rising temperatures and longer, more intense heatwaves. While still less common than in some other countries, one homeowner decided they could no longer endure sweaty nights, as working from home in the heat was affecting their sleep and work performance. They noted that there is nothing worse than trying to enjoy the English summer in homes built to retain heat, and they were beginning to dread warm weather.
BOXT, a multi-award-winning platform that simplifies home upgrades, offers air conditioning installation at a fair price. The homeowner, who had always feared having work done in the house, especially with pets, described being more relaxed and pleased with the result than ever before. The process allows for installation within days.
Getting a price for air conditioning on the BOXT website was straightforward and took just minutes after answering a few basic questions, such as property type, desired unit location, and room size. The website is easy to follow, and the BOXT team later checked in to review the answers. Customers also specify whether the internal unit will be on an internal or external wall and where the external unit should be placed. The homeowner opted for the rear of the home to keep it out of sight and chose two units for two main bedrooms.
After answering the questions, the recommended package is displayed, showing cooling and heating power, indoor dimensions, and warranty. Customers can proceed with booking or save the quote for later. BOXT offers financing options for those concerned about cost, and a code AC250 provides £250 savings. The installation includes delivery, installation, electricians, and scaffolding if needed.
The homeowner selected a suitable date for installation, with the option of the following day, but chose the next week to prepare photos. A BOXT engineer contacted them beforehand to explain the process and answer questions. Sending photos and having a conversation with the engineer made the experience smooth. The units were delivered on the installation morning, and the fitters arrived on time, accommodating pets and protecting carpets. The team, including Florin and Diego, worked efficiently, drilling the first hole within 20 minutes. Scaffolding arrived a couple of hours later for the external unit. The homeowner was impressed by the knowledge and skill of the team, who worked tirelessly upstairs and in the loft, mindful of wires and items stored there.
