Conservatory air conditioning in Port Talbot
If your conservatory in Port Talbot faces south, that is where overheating is worst. South Wales summers can be warm and humid, and winters damp, so a reversible system earns its keep all year.
In Port Talbot, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. Port Talbot sits around 7 miles from Swansea, inside our West Glamorgan area. Postcode districts we cover here include SA12.

Planning and permissions
In Wales, outdoor units of up to 1.5 m³ that meet MCS 020a noise limits are usually permitted development on houses; listed buildings need consent, and in conservation areas a unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road.
