Ducted air conditioning in Clydach
For a renovation in Clydach, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. South Wales summers can be warm and humid, and winters damp, so a reversible system earns its keep all year.
Ducted systems suit Clydach loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. We cover Clydach as part of West Glamorgan, roughly 5 miles from Swansea. Postcode districts we cover here include SA6.

If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.

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.
