Goodhome: Air Conditioner _hot_

The residential cooling sector accounts for approximately 12% of household electricity consumption in temperate climates (IEA, 2024). The GoodHome brand, launched through B&Q’s partnership with Midea Group, targets the DIY consumer seeking affordable, installable cooling solutions. Unlike central HVAC systems, the GoodHome series comprises split-type and portable units designed for renter-friendly installation.

At 8 hours/day for 120 cooling days, the GoodHome split unit costs approximately €87/year in electricity (€0.25/kWh). Using R32 reduces direct GWP by 68% compared to R410A. However, the absence of serviceable filters in the portable model leads to annual replacement waste. goodhome air conditioner
