Air Conditioning in Santa Maria del Camí

The houses along the old road are long and narrow, running back from the street to a patio or a garden at the far end. One end takes the sun and the traffic, the other is shaded and quiet, and the two behave like different buildings for most of the summer. Say which end of the house is difficult and we hand it on.

Two condensers at opposite ends of a long stone farmhouse, dry ground and a low wall around it

One house, two climates, end to end

In a deep plan the front rooms and the back rooms are rarely the same temperature. Whichever end takes the afternoon sun runs several degrees warmer, and the far end, usually opening onto a patio with some shade, stays comfortable without help. A single setting for the whole house therefore leaves one end wrong all summer.

Splitting the house into a front and a back zone is the obvious answer and it is often overlooked, because the plan is on one level and does not look like it needs zoning. It does. Where a system is being installed anyway, doing it as two zones rather than one costs little at the time and cannot be added afterwards without opening things again.

The middle rooms are the ones to watch. In a long plan they frequently have no external wall at all, so they get neither sun nor draught, and they need air brought to them rather than cooling capacity added near them.

What a long plan needs

  • A front and a back zone rather than one setting for the house
  • Air brought to middle rooms that have no external wall
  • Recognition that one end may need nothing at all
  • Sensors at both ends, not one in the hallway between them
  • Plant at whichever end has somewhere to put it, with the route planned
  • Doors along the plan, and whether they are ever actually closed

Does a single-storey house need zoning?

A long one usually does. The temperature difference between the street end and the garden end of these houses is real, and one thermostat somewhere in the middle keeps one of the two ends uncomfortable. Zoning is far cheaper to include at installation than to add later.

What about the rooms in the middle?

They often have no window on any external wall, so they neither gain heat from the sun nor lose it to a draught. What they need is air movement from a unit positioned to reach them, which is a placement question rather than a capacity one.
