All About Air Conditioners for Conservatories
Although conservatories are commonplace across the UK, they all present the same overheating issues. Perhaps the biggest problem is that they become far too hot in the summer or too cold in winter evenings!
An experienced surveyor must undertake accurate calculations to ensure that enough cooling power is recommended. We take room size, planned usage, and glass coverage into account when designing the ideal air conditioning solution for your conservatory.
We provide a free site survey, regardless of the job's size. All surveys are carried out by our experienced air conditioning engineers who can tackle even the toughest of conservatory installations.
Ideal Systems for Conservatories
Low Wall-Mounted Air Conditioners
- Perfect for glass-heavy conservatories
- Blends seamlessly with existing décor
- All-season temperature control
Low wall-mounted air conditioners are often the best choice for air conditioning a conservatory. Due to large amounts of glass, many conservatories don’t have full-sized solid walls; therefore, specialist low wall-mounted units can be easily placed.
Although they are a little more expensive than traditional high-wall units, they provide a great solution to the situation. Low-wall air conditioners are also aesthetically pleasing because, like radiators, they are placed out of your line of sight and perfectly blend into the room.
Low-wall units are also easy to retrofit in rooms without the need for redecoration. They are whisper-quiet and provide efficient cooling/heating that will keep your conservatory at the perfect temperature no matter what the season.
If you are only looking to cool your conservatory, then 95% of installs use Single-Split Air Conditioners. They are the simplest and most cost-effective option available. They have one internal cooling unit and one external condenser box as shown in the image above).
The more single-splits you install, the more external condensers you require. If you are looking to install multiple units throughout your house and external space is at a premium, you may want to consider a multi-split system.
If you are looking to cool more than one room, a Multi-Split Air Conditioning System is often the best option. This is because you can have multiple internal units with only one external condenser box. This often helps with planning permission and also aesthetic appearance.
If your local council refuse planning permission, then a water-cooled air conditioning system is the ideal solution.
These systems are exclusively used in situations where you cannot have an external condenser box, usually due to planning permission.
Rather than releasing heat to the outside world like traditional air conditioners (via a condenser box), water-cooled air conditioners have an internal unit connected to the main water source. Cold mains water is pumped through the system, keeping it cool, allowing the internal air conditioner to run efficiently.
Wall-Mounted Air Conditioners for Conservatories
- Available in various shapes and sizes
- Premium designer models available
- Simple installation on full-sized walls
Wall-mounted aircon units are also commonly used in the conservatory environment as long as there is a full sized wall for the unit to be placed. They are long, thin and placed at a high level on the wall.
The main advantage is that they are always the cheapest type of unit to install and come in lots of different shapes and sizes that you can choose from.
There are also premium models of wall units (like the Daikin Stylish/Emura and the Mitsubishi Electric Zen/LN units). They are a little more expensive; however, they are superb-looking units.
