A once rare feature is now considered essential by homeowners looking to control indoor temperatures, improve sleep quality, and reduce reliance on portable fans or inefficient radiators.

At ClimateWorks, our process always starts with a free home survey to understand your living space and recommend the most suitable configuration.
Ideal for cooling or heating one room.
Cools multiple rooms with one outdoor unit.
Discreet cooling for larger or premium properties.
Larger or open-plan rooms may require higher capacity units or multiple air handlers. Loft conversions or small bedrooms benefit from compact, quiet units.
New builds with good insulation need different systems than older properties with draughts or single glazing. Listed buildings may need special planning considerations for outdoor units.
Do you want cooling only, or dual-function heating and cooling? All ClimateWorks systems provide both functions, replacing the need for radiators or separate heaters.
Wall-mounted units are common, but you may prefer low-wall or ceiling-mounted options. Outdoor unit positioning should also be considered for noise and visual impact.
