How Climate Control Is Changing Homes in Farnham
Across Farnham and its surrounding villages, homeowners are no longer waiting for summer to feel the heat. A growing number of families are proactively installing air conditioning systems in preparation for warmer months, but more importantly, for all-year-round comfort. From modern townhouses on Upper Hale Road to larger detached homes in Rowledge and Wrecclesham, there is a clear movement in Farnham towards permanent air conditioning solutions designed to cool in summer and heat in winter.
This shift is not just a response to weather. It's a result of lifestyle changes—home working, open-plan living, and rising energy costs. For many, it's also about future-proofing their property and increasing its value. If you're based in Farnham and are considering an upgrade to your home’s climate control, this blog outlines what you need to know before installing.
Why Air Conditioning Is Becoming a Standard Home Upgrade in Farnham
Over the past five years, air conditioning has moved from being a luxury to a practical necessity. As climate patterns shift, Farnham residents are experiencing hotter, more humid summers and unpredictable transitional seasons. Older homes built to retain warmth in winter now overheat during spring and summer.
Many newer properties, although more energy-efficient, are sealed tightly for insulation. This traps heat inside and limits natural airflow. As a result, living areas, bedrooms, and attic conversions regularly become too warm, too quickly. Unlike fans or open windows, professionally installed systems offer precise temperature control, clean indoor air, and energy-conscious performance.
In homes where family routines depend on comfort, consistent climate control is no longer optional. It’s an essential upgrade that works throughout the year.
How Air Conditioning Fits Farnham's Property Types
Farnham is home to a variety of residential property styles—from period cottages in the conservation area to modern developments in Shortheath and Wrecclesham. Each presents different cooling needs.
ClimateWorks surveys every home before installation to determine:
- Which rooms require temperature control
- The property’s size, layout, and access points
- Preferred locations for indoor and outdoor units
- Whether smart control features will be used
This approach ensures every system matches the homeowner’s priorities—whether it's silent operation in a nursery or all-day performance in a south-facing kitchen-diner.
Split System Air Conditioning
These systems consist of one indoor and one outdoor unit. They’re suitable for:
- Individual rooms like bedrooms or lofts
- Garden offices or studios
- Home cinemas or media rooms
Split systems provide zoned temperature control with low energy usage and near-silent performance.
Multi-Split Air Conditioning
For larger homes or those requiring coverage across several rooms, multi-split systems are the best choice. One outdoor condenser connects to multiple indoor units, allowing different rooms to be cooled or heated independently.
This setup is common in:
- Detached family homes
- Homes with multiple storeys
- Properties with both living and sleeping areas needing temperature control
All units installed by ClimateWorks are compatible with smart control, allowing full control through mobile apps or smart home systems.

Real-World Installation: Detached Home in Lower Bourne
A family of five in Lower Bourne contacted ClimateWorks to install a system that would solve overheating issues in their loft conversion and make their kitchen-diner more comfortable.
Challenges:
- The loft room was unusable in summer
- Their south-facing kitchen became too hot to cook in after midday
- The property had minimal space at the side for outdoor equipment
What We Installed:
- One multi-split system with four indoor units
- Wall-mounted units installed in the loft, master bedroom, kitchen, and living room
- The outdoor condenser positioned discreetly behind the side fence
- Smart control via app for independent temperature settings
The result was a quieter, cooler, and more functional home that performed better in both summer and winter.
