Conservatory air conditioning across Bristol
In Bristol, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. If your conservatory in Bristol faces south, that is where overheating is worst. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
A survey in Bristol usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. We book surveys in Bristol at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
