Conservatory air conditioning in Bury St Edmunds
If your conservatory in Bury St Edmunds faces south, that is where overheating is worst. Bright summers in the East of England mean solar gain through glass is usually the biggest load to design for.
In Bury St Edmunds, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. Bury St Edmunds sits around 23 miles from Ipswich, inside our Suffolk area. Postcode districts we cover here include IP33.
