Every kind of Cardiff home, surveyed properly.

The right installation looks different in Roath than it does in Radyr. In a Victorian terrace in Canton or Cathays, the job is usually a rear bedroom or a loft conversion that bakes all summer, with the outdoor unit tucked on the back wall or a flat roof. On a newer estate in Pontprennau or St Mellons it's often the south-facing landing and bedrooms. We fit all of them, and the free survey is where we agree the route for the pipework so there are no surprises on the day.

A note if you're in a flat or apartment.

Apartments at the Bay and around the city centre can absolutely have air conditioning, but the rules are a little different: flats don't get the same permitted development allowances as houses, and you'll usually need your freeholder's or management company's consent for anything fixed to the outside of the building. We'll tell you honestly at the survey what's possible, and there are neat options where an outside unit isn't allowed. If you rent, your landlord's written permission is the place to start.

Loft conversions and home offices.

Cardiff has thousands of loft conversions, and they're reliably the hottest room in the house: insulated to keep heat in, glazed at the roofline, and impossible to cool with an open window. They're also the single most common room we're asked to fix. Those rooms are also getting harder to live with as the summers warm up, which we have set out in why Welsh summers are getting hotter. One unit up there typically transforms it, and in winter the same unit becomes the cheapest way to heat the room. Our heating guide explains how the heat pump side works.

Fitted and looked after by one team.

You get a fixed price up front, a 10 year guarantee as standard, and the option to spread the cost over up to 12 months interest free.
