Reasons to Install Air Conditioning in Your Kitchen
Heat build-up from cooking – Ovens, hobs and appliances quickly raise temperatures, especially in open-plan kitchens.
Sun exposure – South facing kitchens can become uncomfortably warm on hot summer days.
Poor ventilation – Many UK home kitchens rely on small extractor fans that do not cope well with removing humidity and heat.
Open-plan layouts – Kitchen-diner extensions are ever more popular, but these types of spaces can end up trapping more heat.
Entertaining guests in comfort – A cooler kitchen environment makes family gatherings that much more pleasant on hot days.
Whether you’re just prepping for a Sunday lunch or hosting a dinner party in style, a correctly configured kitchen air conditioning system helps maintain a steady 21 – 22°C temperature; cool enough to stay comfortable whilst avoiding wasted energy.
How Kitchen Air Con Works
A fitted split system provides efficient cooling & heating:
- The indoor unit (wall-mounted or concealed) distributes cool air evenly around the kitchen.
- The outdoor unit expels heat, keeping noise and vibration outside.
- Inverter technology ensures smooth temperature control
- Modern systems use R32 refrigerant, which has a lower global warming potential and improved efficiency.
Every installation is designed to avoid draughts, minimise condensation & keep background noise low enough to talk.
Best Air Conditioning Options for a Modern Kitchen
There’s a number of air conditioning system systems available for kitchens – here are the ones you might want to consider:
System Type Ideal For Key Benefits
- Wall-mounted split Standard kitchens: Fast install, cost-effective, easy maintenance
- Low-console unit Under windows: Gentle airflow, compact design
- Ceiling cassette: Open plan kitchens Even distribution, discreet position
- Multi-split system Kitchen + living areas: One outdoor unit for multiple rooms
Our experienced air conditioning engineers can recommend the right setup for your layout, ventilation and usage – ensuring your kitchen stays cool without affecting any existing extraction hoods or cooking performance.
Advanced cooling for buildings with several IT spaces. High efficiency, zonal control and built-in redundancy options.
Efficiency, Temperature & Running Costs
We would advise that the best recommended setting is 21-22°C for comfortable, efficient cooling.
A typical 2.5 kW system costs only a few tens of pence per hour depending on your tariff & rarely runs at full power.
Heating mode: The same unit can also warm your kitchen efficiently in colder months – ideal for those chilly mornings.

Real Home Example
Kitchen-Diner, Bristol Suburbs
A 28 m² open-plan kitchen-diner, with bi-fold doors and facing south, suffered from overheating on hot summer afternoons. The client advised that their home retained a lot of heat, which was great in winter but “turned their kitchen into a sauna” in summer.
After carrying out a free initial site survey and providing a competitively priced quote, we installed a 3.2 kW wall-mounted system running quietly at 21 °C during meal prep – helping to maintain comfort even with the oven on.
The end result was much improved comfort, fresher air and noticeably reduced condensation while cooking – a big win for our clients and their young family!
