Conservatory air conditioning in Northampton
If your conservatory in Northampton faces south, that is where overheating is worst. Summer peaks in the East Midlands make bedrooms under the roof the hardest rooms to keep comfortable.
Conservatories and orangeries in Northampton can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January. As well as Northampton itself, our Northamptonshire coverage takes in Corby, Kettering and the towns around them. Homes in NN1 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
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.

A survey in Northampton 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. We book surveys in Northampton at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
