Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. For a home cinema in Basingstoke, we place the indoor unit so airflow stays away from the screen and seating.
Garage gyms and media rooms in Basingstoke often face the same problem: thin walls and a lot of heat from people and equipment. We cover Basingstoke as part of Hampshire, roughly 28 miles from Southampton. That includes the RG21 postcode district.
