Conservatory air conditioning in Poole
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 Poole, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory.
Conservatories and orangeries in Poole can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January. We cover Poole as part of Dorset, roughly 5 miles from Bournemouth. Homes in BH15 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. 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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
A survey in Poole 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 Poole cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
