Ducted air conditioning in Deeside
In an older house in Deeside, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. North Wales has mild, damp weather for much of the year, so efficient heating and dehumidifying are big benefits.

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.
