Conservatory air conditioning in Falmouth
Conservatories and orangeries in Falmouth can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
If your conservatory in Falmouth faces south, that is where overheating is worst. Falmouth lies roughly 8 miles from Truro, and we cover it as part of Cornwall. We cover TR11 and the streets around them.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
A survey in Falmouth 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. Surveys in Falmouth cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
