Conservatory air conditioning in Swansea
In Swansea, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. Wet South Wales winters make a heat pump's quiet, even heating and dehumidifying mode useful well beyond summer.
Conservatories and orangeries in Swansea can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January. We cover Swansea and the rest of West Glamorgan, including Neath and Briton Ferry. Postcode districts we cover here include SA1.

Planning and permissions
Since 1 June 2026, Welsh permitted development rules for outdoor units closely match England's: up to 1.5 m³, two units on a detached home, one on other homes, and MCS 020a noise compliance. Listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas have extra restrictions on units facing a road.
The survey
A survey in Swansea 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. On a survey in Swansea the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
