Conservatory air conditioning in Norwich
Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for. Conservatories and orangeries in Norwich can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January.
In Norwich, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. Norwich is one of the main towns we cover in Norfolk, alongside Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn. Postcode districts we cover here include NR2 and NR3.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
A survey in Norwich 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 Norwich cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
