Conservatory air conditioning in Cardigan
In South and Mid Wales, efficient heating is often as important as cooling. In Cardigan, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory.
Conservatories and orangeries in Cardigan can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January. Cardigan lies roughly 22 miles from Carmarthen, and we cover it as part of Dyfed. Postcode districts we cover here include SA43.

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
Wales removed its old 3 m boundary rule on 1 June 2026, so most houses in Cardigan can now have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it meets the MCS 020a noise condition. Listed buildings still need consent, and conservation areas have extra restrictions.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. On a survey in Cardigan the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
