Conservatory air conditioning in Bournemouth
Conservatories and orangeries in Bournemouth can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January. South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much.
In Bournemouth, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. Bournemouth is one of the main towns we cover in Dorset, alongside Poole and Weymouth. Homes in BH1, BH2, BH7 and BH10 are all within our coverage.

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.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Bournemouth, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
We book surveys in Bournemouth at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. Surveys in Bournemouth cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
