Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes across County Down
For Bangor landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Bangor can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. In Northern Ireland, cooling is mostly needed in conservatories and glazed rooms, while efficient heating benefits the whole home.

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
