Home air conditioning in Ipswich

Rooms that benefit most

• Bedrooms: the number one request. Indoor units run at whisper-quiet levels on night mode.
• Loft conversions: roofs soak up the sun, so lofts are often the hottest rooms in the house.
• Home offices: steady temperatures and less noise than a fan with the window open.
• Garden rooms and extensions: one unit heats them in winter and cools them in summer.
• Kitchen-diners and open-plan living: big glass doors make these rooms overheat fast.

Heating as well as cooling

Almost every system we fit at home is a reverse-cycle heat pump. In winter it produces around 3.5–5 kWh of heat for every 1 kWh of electricity, so it is far cheaper to run than electric heaters, and it heats a room in minutes. See air-to-air heat pumps for more.

Quiet, discreet and tidy

We place indoor units where they blow along the room rather than at the bed or sofa, keep pipe runs short, use white trunking that matches the wall, and position the outdoor unit to keep noise away from bedrooms, yours and your neighbours'.

What does it cost to run?

A typical 3.5 kW system costs well under 10p an hour to cool a room once it is up to temperature. Try the running cost calculator with your own tariff.

Planning permission at home

Many home installations do not need planning permission, but listed buildings, conservation areas, flats and units on the front of the house can. We flag anything to check with the council before work starts.

Home air conditioning in Ipswich

The rooms we are asked about most in Ipswich are loft bedrooms and second-floor rooms on the newer estates, where the roof bakes in the afternoon sun, and garden rooms that are freezing in winter and too hot in summer. One air-to-air system solves both.

In conservation areas and on period houses we keep the outdoor unit off the front elevation, and we always talk about noise with neighbours in mind on tighter terraced streets.
