When it's very hot and sticky outside there's nothing nicer than walking into a cool room. Air conditioning can create that effect at the touch of a button. Heat pumps themselves can work on a 'reverse cycle', meaning they can heat and cool. A pump needs to be the right size for a particular space, and it takes moisture out of the air so it's dryer. At Refresh we can also offer you 'smart' options that will help you automate cooling processes. Talk to us and we can help you find the right solution for your home.
By investing in landscaping solutions you can create shady areas to help you keep your home comfortable throughout the summer without using mechanical assistance. Moveable or removable shading is optimal as you don't want to stop solar gains in winter.
Technology is undeniably important in our everyday lives. We are always connected, but are we using technology to its full potential in the home? We can outline some of the ways that technology can be incorporated into the home to make an everyday task easier, faster and more fun. It is actually more affordable and attainable than you might think.
Window orientation is all-important as glass can increase heat gain by 87%. Depending on your budget, you'll want to invest in double-glazing or even triple glazing, which incorporate two or three glass panes in a window with air or gas in between for temperature control. This will help you maintain the cool temperature of your interior during summer.

Ceiling fans not only provide cooling but they're very popular in design right now. Technically speaking, at 50% relative humidity, air movement of 0.5m/s creates maximum cooling effect. Our experts say that adjusting a ceiling fan to run counter-clockwise will create a cooler airflow. Investing in thermal lined blinds and curtains would also help keep temperatures lower.
Ventilation is key for a healthy, efficient and comfortable home, keeping moisture, dampness and mould at bay. Simply installing an effective ventilation system will remove moisture, odours and airborne pollutants, replacing 'bad' air with drier, fresher air from outside and creating an airflow which will help you cool down your property.
Roof and ceiling insulation is key, but if you insulate the walls as well it's even more effective. A lot of people think insulation is just for warmth, but it also works to keep your home cool. Our experts suggest using higher levels of insulation than the minimum suggested by regulations for best results.
