The Quietest Air Conditioning Units for W2 Flats

Whether it’s your bedroom, loft, conservatory, or living room, air conditioning can create the ideal indoor environment. New air conditioning systems are sleek and discreet, making them a seamless addition to vW2 flats. Many models offer a reverse cycle to provide both cooling and heating for year-round climate control.

If you live in a W2 flat, there are a few things to keep in mind when choosing an AC unit. Noise is a major factor — you definitely want a unit that runs quietly so you don’t bother your neighbours or disrupt your own home’s tranquillity. In this blog post, we’ll look at some of the quietest air conditioning units perfect for W2 flats.

Types of air conditioning for W2 flats

Before recommending AC units, we want to share the types of air conditioners popular with W2 flat owners.

Portable air conditioner

Portable air conditioners are easy to move from room to room to provide cooling where you need it, but they do have some practical considerations. They are not energy efficient and can take up valuable floor space. And because they need a hose venting out a window, you’ll have to keep a window open while it’s running, which isn’t always ideal and may raise security concerns.

Through-the-wall ACs

These air conditioning units are fixed to the outside-facing wall. However, they require professional installation and cannot be moved. You might want to refer to your ownership or apartment tenancy agreement before installing one, as the dripping drain hose and drilling requirements might be problematic.

Conventional AC units

Conventional air conditioning units provide hassle-free cooling in W2 flats. They are designed to sit on the apartment wall to blow cool air. The refrigeration pipework goes around the interior wall and is fitted to an exterior box on the garden or balcony. Be sure to check with your landlord for regulations about installing one, as they may not allow penetrations through outside walls.

Split AC units

Split air conditioning units are the most versatile cooling systems for W2 flats. They consist of two major components: an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. This makes them effective at regulating the temperature of one room or an area with an exterior wall. The outdoor unit consists of the condenser and compressor to cool the air, and it’s linked to the indoor unit via insulated pipes that circulate the refrigerant. Meanwhile, the indoor unit is mounted on a wall inside your apartment with a cooling coil and air filter to distribute the cold air.

Worcester Bosch makes some of the quietest air conditioning units that are perfect for W2 flats. The Climate 3000i is one of its most energy efficient, cleanest, and quietest models.

The Bosch 3000i is a single split air conditioning unit with an A+ energy efficiency rating for heating and A++ for cooling. It’s easy to install and runs quietly, thanks to the silent function that minimises the sound level of the outdoor and indoor units. In silent mode, its noise level is just 20 dB(a). And because it features double filtration, you don’t have to worry about harmful gases, VOCs, and odours in the air, so you can breathe easily. Plus, the i-clean function removes up to 99% of bacteria.

Climate 3000i has corrosion-resistant golden fins for enhanced performance and a longer coil lifespan. Running it in Eco mode can help you save an extra 20% on power consumption. You can also run it on Gear mode to minimise power consumption by 25% to 50%, especially if you require minimal heating or cooling.

Climate 3000i is a versatile air conditioning unit that offers four different cooling capacities: 2.6 kW, 7.0 kW, 5.3 kW, and 3.5 kW. Its indoor unit can be used in multi-split systems, and the optional Connect Key G10 CL-1 accessory lets you conveniently control the unit via Wi-Fi.
