Home gym and media room air conditioning in Derry/Londonderry
Garage gyms and media rooms in Derry/Londonderry often face the same problem: thin walls and a lot of heat from people and equipment. In Northern Ireland, homes on oil or electric heating can look at air-to-air systems for efficient warmth.
For a home cinema in Derry/Londonderry, we place the indoor unit so airflow stays away from the screen and seating. As well as Derry/Londonderry itself, our County Londonderry coverage takes in Coleraine, Limavady and the towns around them. Coverage includes BT48 and BT47.

Planning and permissions
In Northern Ireland we confirm planning requirements for the outdoor unit on survey, especially for listed buildings and conservation areas.
The survey
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. On a survey in Derry/Londonderry 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.
