Why do loft rooms overheat?
Sun on the roof heats the slates and the room below, and roof windows let in direct sun. Even well-insulated lofts can sit several degrees above the rest of the house in a heatwave. Blinds and ventilation help, but a small inverter system is what reliably holds a set temperature overnight.
How do you keep it quiet for sleep?
We choose units with low sound levels on their quietest fan setting, place them so air does not blow directly on the bed, and use sleep or night modes that limit fan speed. The outdoor unit is placed away from neighbours' bedroom windows.
Where does the outdoor unit go for a loft room?
Usually on a wall bracket at the rear, on a flat roof with a proper stand, or at ground level with a longer pipe run down the wall. Each option is priced on the quote; high-level brackets may need a scaffold tower for access.
