Maximise comfort during a hot Summer with quiet, efficient air conditioning for your lounge.

Summer heatwaves are hitting the UK more often these days so Somerset and Bristol homeowners are increasingly choosing energy-efficient cooling. We install air conditioning systems into living rooms across the South West.

Let us show you how air conditioning in your lounge can transform daily life – book a free home survey today!

Rising UK heat levels

Once rare, hotter summer heat spells in the UK now linger longer and with more humidity. Many homes in the West country can face overheating in daytime, making it more uncomfortable for residents.

Local urgency

In Bristol and other urban areas, the “urban heat island” effect can exacerbate indoor temperatures beyond surrounding rural areas.

Home adaptation, not retrofit stress

Instead of gutting walls or glazing, a lounge Air Conditioning system fitted by our team is a manageable retrofit – enabling home owners a lower-disruption entry point into home cooling.

In Somerset, the cooling effects of the sea can soften temperature extremes, but strong sunlight streaming in, more electronic and electrical appliances still drive overheating in south or west-facing lounges. In Bristol, the warmer microclimates can further intensify these effects. Lounge AC lets you control your comfort in hot temperatures.

A split air conditioning system involves:

– a sleek indoor unit (wall mounted, low console or concealed)

– a small outdoor unit (usually mounted outside your home)

With inverter technology the system gently modulates power, enabling a quieter operation with better efficiency.

Cooling & heating: Many modern units provide cooling & heating, giving you a “heat pump” effect in the colder months

We can size & commission your air conditioning system to match your lounge’s heat load. Get in touch!

Our air con experts can calculate the correct cooling load using:

• Room area & height
• Glazing
• Orientation
• Shading
• Internal gains (lights, appliances)
• Occupancy

Oversizing an air con system for a lounge leads to inefficiency, frequent cycling and more noise whilst under sizing leads to poor comfort so it’s important to get this right.

The ideal indoor placement avoids direct sun, ensures an even airflow and avoids obstructions such as furniture and curtains.

Outdoor unit placement: accessible but discreet with good clearance and (where possible) an aesthetic visual impact.

Condensate routing, trunking runs and structural integrity (e.g. thicker masonry walls in older houses) are vital considerations.

A 2.5 kW lounge unit might cost a few tens of pence per hour depending on electricity tariffs but your system would rarely run at full power.

You’ll save more if you use your air con smartly: set moderate targets (e.g. 23–25 °C), pre-cool before peak heat, keep doors/windows closed, using shading and ventilation when possible.

Complementary measures: Use curtains, blinds, external shading, roof insulation or night-time purging to reduce the system’s load.

Indoor air conditioning units typically run at library-quiet levels (e.g. ≤ 25–30 dB in low mode).

Our outdoor units are compact so in many Somerset and Bristol homes, neighbours won’t notice any operating noise, especially if positioned carefully.

We offer aesthetic trunking, coloured panels and careful routing so the air cond installation blends with your home.

For most standard lounge installs, disruption is modest – in many cases works takes one day (not including initial planning/survey prep).

Building fabric & walls: Many Somerset homes (stone, cob, older construction) have limitations – our installers are experienced in sensitively working with heritage or solid-wall properties.

Conservation / planning sensitivity: Especially in listed or conservation areas near Bristol, external units or trunking may require discrete placement or permission.

Climate nuance: In Somerset, the maritime influence may reduce extreme peaks of heat, but internal heat build-up still happens. In Bristol, you may see accentuated heat on hot days due to urban heat sink.

Local case (sample scenario): A south-facing 22 m² lounge in Bristol – one 2.8 kW air conditioning wall unit can easily achieve a stable 23.5 °C when external hits 30 °C, with low noise and modest running cost.

• We supply documentation, performance data and service logs

What it costs (realistic ranges)

For a single lounge wall-mounted split, in the Somerset / Bristol area, typical installed cost ranges from £1800 to £3000 (and exempt of VAT!) depending on unit quality, mounting complexity, wiring length, trunking and finish.

Our experienced team always aim to offer most competitive price with the very best service.

Please note a complex or premium concealed / ducted system may come in at a higher premium.

We provide transparent quotes and (if available) finance / payment-plan options.

A 24 m² south-west facing lounge in a 1930s semi near Hutton.

We installed a 3.0 kW inverter split system (wall unit) routed externally around corner to outdoor unit. On a 32 °C day, their lounge held steady at 23 °C with a 150 W average draw. Our customer reported much better evening comfort and minimal noise.
