Top-floor flats and HMO rooms in Porthcawl can get uncomfortably hot in summer, which tenants notice first. In South and Mid Wales, efficient heating is often as important as cooling.
For Porthcawl landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. Porthcawl is about 6 miles from Bridgend and falls within our Mid Glamorgan coverage. Homes in CF36 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Porthcawl

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.
