Conservatory air conditioning across Somerset
Conservatories and orangeries in Taunton can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January. In Taunton, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.
