Home gym and media room air conditioning in Cardiff
For a home cinema in Cardiff, we place the indoor unit so airflow stays away from the screen and seating. Humid summer spells in South Wales make dehumidifying and cooling equally welcome.
Garage gyms and media rooms in Cardiff often face the same problem: thin walls and a lot of heat from people and equipment. As well as Cardiff itself, our South Glamorgan coverage takes in Barry, Penarth and the towns around them. Homes in CF10, CF11, CF14, CF15, CF23 and CF24 are all within our coverage.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
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.
