October can be an unpredictable month when it comes to the weather. Traditionally the transition between autumn and winter weather ranges from mild and sunny to freezing Arctic temperatures.
Just like Halloween, the October weather seems to play its own game of trick or treat on the UK population. With Hampshire and the South Coast basking in unseasonably high temperatures, providing a retreat of mini heatwaves. More recently, leaving us all contemplating if we should wear winter clothes for the morning and summer clothes for the afternoon.
Can you use the air-con in October?
The strange weather conditions beg the question, should you still be using your air-conditioning unit in the autumn months? The short answer… YES! Air conditioning is something you can use all year round to regulate the temperature in your home.
Using air conditioning in autumn is OK, as the weather can fluctuate a lot. On warmer days, it can still feel stuffy indoors and putting on the air con can keep the temperature in your home feeling fresh. Even when the temperature drops further in October, having an AC system is still effective in providing stable, consistent climate control.
A modern multi-split systems unit can reduce your energy consumption, as you can use it to both heat and cool down your space during this changeable month. Most modern systems have a thermostat, so you can change the temperature at the drop of a hat, depending on how the weather changes. You can also set timers to ensure your home is a sufficient temperature on arrival after a long day at the office.
You may find your AC system can warm up the space quicker than traditional central heating, so you’re using less energy to reach the ideal temperature.
