Conservatory air conditioning across County Down
If your conservatory in Bangor faces south, that is where overheating is worst. Conservatories and orangeries in Bangor can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January. Northern Ireland's mild, damp climate makes efficient heating and dehumidifying the main benefits for most homes.

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 Northern Ireland we confirm planning requirements for the outdoor unit on survey, especially for listed buildings and conservation areas.
The survey

Surveys in County Down cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
