AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION FOR LOFT CONVERSIONS
Loft conversions are a smart way to add space and value to your home, but they come with their own climate challenges. With low, sloping ceilings and limited wall space, regulating temperature can be tough. In summer, lofts can become uncomfortably hot. In winter, they often struggle to hold on to heat.

Every loft is different, and we’ll help you find the best setup for your space. Our team will assess your layout, access and size of the room to recommend the right unit and positioning for maximum comfort and efficiency.

BENFITS OF AIR CON IN YOUR LOFT CONVERSION
Make your loft space useable
Air conditioning offers a range of significant benefits for loft conversions, making them much more comfortable and usable spaces year-round, especially in the UK where lofts can experience extreme temperature fluctuations.
Here are the key advantages:
-
Year-Round Temperature Control: This is arguably the most crucial benefit. Lofts are notoriously prone to becoming excessively hot in summer as heat rises and gets trapped under the roof, and uncomfortably cold in winter due to their exposed position. Modern air conditioning units provide both powerful cooling in summer and efficient heating in winter, allowing you to maintain a consistent and comfortable temperature regardless of the season.
-
Improved Air Quality: Many air conditioning systems come with built-in filters that remove dust, pollen, allergens, pollutants, and even some bacteria and odours from the air.
-
Humidity Control: Lofts can be susceptible to high humidity, which can lead to dampness, stuffiness, and even mould growth. Air conditioning units actively remove excess moisture from the air, helping to maintain optimal humidity levels.
-
Enhanced Comfort and Usability: By providing consistent temperature and better air quality, air conditioning transforms your loft from a potentially uncomfortable space into a truly usable and enjoyable room.
WHAT TYPE OF AC UNIT TO USE IN A LOFT CONVERSION
When considering air conditioning for your loft conversion, you essentially have two primary choices: wall-mounted units or floor-mounted (console) units.
​
Wall-Mounted Units
Wall-mounted units are a popular and efficient option if you have sufficient high-level wall space. These units are installed near the ceiling, ensuring that cool air is distributed effectively throughout your loft. Their sleek design keeps them out of the way, contributing to a clean and uncluttered aesthetic. They're a strong choice for loft conversions that feature at least one solid, high wall.
Floor-Mounted (Console) Units
Alternatively, floor-mounted (console) units are an excellent solution for loft conversions where wall space is limited, particularly those with numerous Velux or dormer windows. These compact systems are installed at a low level, often beneath windows or within dwarf walls. They offer the benefit of both cooling in the summer and effective heating in the winter due to their low-level heat output. Their placement also allows for easier access and maintenance.
​
Key Advantages of Console Units:
-
Compact and stylish design
-
Low-level placement to avoid sloped ceilings
-
Dual functionality: providing both cooling and heating
-
Easy to access and operate
Ultimately, the best choice for your loft conversion will depend on the available wall space and your specific needs for cooling and heating.

AIR CON - FAQ's
Q: How are floor-mounted AC units different from radiators?
A: While they may look similar, radiators use hot water or steam to heat a room and need to be connected to a central heating system, whereas floor-mounted AC units use refrigerant to cool or heat air, depending on the system and can operate independently of your central heating.
​
Q: Do floor-mounted AC units provide heating as well?
A: The units we use at Cold Control can both cool and heat a space efficiently.
​
Q: Are these units less powerful than wall-mounted ones?
A: Not necessarily. Their performance depends on the model, room size, and insulation. They're a good option for spaces with limited wall space.
​
Q: Are floor-mounted AC units quieter than other types?
A: They’re generally comparable in noise levels to wall-mounted units, though exact noise output varies by model.
