Loft Conversion Air Conditioning in Bristol & the South West
Loft conversions often experience significant temperature swings due to direct sun exposure, limited insulation and heat rising from lower floors. These rooms frequently become too warm in summer and too cold in winter, making them difficult to use as bedrooms, offices or living spaces. A correctly installed loft air conditioning system provides stable, comfortable temperatures all year round.
Controlled Climate installs loft conversion air conditioning systems across Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire and surrounding South West locations. Loft installations form part of our wider home air conditioning services.

Service area
We install loft air conditioning systems across Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire and surrounding South West towns.
Why loft conversions need air conditioning
Lofts sit directly beneath the roof structure, absorbing significant heat during warmer weather and losing warmth quickly during colder periods. Traditional radiators or portable units often struggle to keep up, making consistent temperature control difficult without dedicated AC.
- Manages heat build-up from direct sunlight
- Improves comfort in rooms with sloped ceilings
- Provides effective winter heating with heat pump efficiency
- Keeps air fresh and reduces stuffiness
- Supports better sleep and productivity
Loft AC installation options
We install several system types suited to loft layouts:
- Wall-mounted units – ideal for available vertical surfaces
- Floor-mounted units – suited to dwarf walls and low-level spaces
- Ducted systems – discreet airflow for larger or more complex conversions
For multi-room loft conversions, units can be combined as part of a multi-split setup. For wider home comfort, see our ducted home air conditioning systems.
Our installation process
1. Loft survey
We assess room layout, ceiling geometry, insulation, heat gain, access, and suitable indoor and outdoor unit positions. Electrical and routing considerations are reviewed during the visit.
2. System design
A tailored design sets out unit capacity, position and pipework routing to ensure efficient, quiet performance without disrupting the room layout.
3. Professional installation
Installation is completed with care to protect stairs, flooring and finishes. Most single-room installations are completed within one working day.
4. Testing and commissioning
We verify temperature performance, noise levels, refrigerant pressures and control functions before handover. Clear guidance is provided on operation and efficient use.
Maintenance and aftercare
Regular servicing maintains quiet performance, efficiency and good air quality. Our service team provides planned maintenance and one-off visits for all major loft-friendly AC systems.

Frequently asked questions
Why do lofts get so warm?
Lofts absorb heat from the roof throughout the day, especially on south- or west-facing slopes. Without AC, temperatures can rise significantly.
Can AC heat a loft conversion?
Yes. Most systems operate as heat pumps, offering both cooling and efficient heating.
Where can the indoor unit be placed?
Units can be positioned on dwarf walls, vertical sections, or concealed using ducted systems depending on layout.
How long does loft AC installation take?
Most single-room loft installations are completed within one working day.
Do you install AC in older loft conversions?
Yes. We assess structural constraints, insulation quality and routing options to recommend suitable solutions.
