From Brackla semis to Porthcawl sea air.
Bridgend's big estates, Brackla and Broadlands especially, are full of well-insulated modern houses, and insulation works both ways: lovely in January, but once summer heat gets in through the glazing it has nowhere to go. Meanwhile the older terraces in town and up the Llynfi and Ogmore valleys hold heat in their thick walls the way they were built to. Different houses, same result: bedrooms that won't cool down at night. A split system takes the heat out rather than stirring it around, and holds the room at the temperature you set.
Cooling in August, cheap heating in January.
The part people are often surprised by is winter. The same unit runs in reverse as a heat pump, producing three to four kilowatts of heat for every kilowatt of electricity, rated to work down to minus twenty outside. For a home office, a nursery or that one cold room the radiators never quite sort, it's usually the cheapest way to heat the space. The heating and solar guide covers it properly, including how it pairs with solar panels.
