The Met Office confirms that the UK is experiencing longer and more intense heatwaves. Temperatures in Hampshire have reached consistent summer highs of 28–30°C in recent years [1]. Traditional homes in Farnborough were built for heat retention, not cooling, making indoor spaces uncomfortable during the warmer months.
Bedrooms become difficult to sleep in. Conservatories and loft conversions are often unusable. A reliable air conditioning system solves these issues by offering controllable, room-specific cooling.
Air conditioning systems with heat pump technology now offer both cooling and heating functions. This makes them ideal for maintaining comfortable temperatures in both summer and winter. It's a practical upgrade, particularly as gas boilers begin to be phased out under new UK energy standards [2].
In spring 2024, a couple living in a semi-detached home installed a dual split system to cool their master bedroom and home office. The indoor units were wall-mounted with discreet trunking, and a single outdoor condenser was placed at the side of the property.
The system was installed in one day. Temperatures in both rooms dropped by 6°C during the first week of use. The couple used the built-in Wi-Fi control to manage the system remotely and reported lower humidity and fewer sleepless nights.
The most common solution for homes in Farnborough. A split system includes one indoor wall-mounted unit and one outdoor condenser. It provides focused cooling in a single space.

Good for:
Ducted systems use concealed vents in the ceiling or wall to distribute air across multiple rooms. These are often chosen for their discreet appearance and even temperature distribution.
Recommended for:
Ducted systems are more complex to install but offer long-term value and aesthetic benefits.
A qualified installer visits to assess:
