The Challenge of Loft Temperatures
Lofts are a fantastic way to maximise space in your home, whether as an extra bedroom, office, or living area. However, due to their location at the top of the house, lofts are prone to extreme temperatures, becoming unbearably hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. The right air conditioning system can make your loft a comfortable space all year round.
Due to their position directly under the roof, lofts experience more significant temperature fluctuations than other rooms. During summer, heat rises and gets trapped, making the space uncomfortably warm.
Additionally, lofts often have sloped ceilings, limited wall space, and skylights, all of which make it harder to regulate temperature effectively. Without proper ventilation, they can also feel stuffy and lack fresh airflow. This is where the right air conditioning system can make a real difference.
The Benefits Of Loft Air Conditioning
01
Cool in Summer, Warm in Winter
Modern air conditioning systems can provide both cooling and heating, helping to keep your loft at a comfortable temperature no matter the season.
02
Better Airflow
Lofts can feel stuffy due to limited ventilation. Air conditioning helps circulate clean, cool air, keeping the space comfortable and preventing overheating.
03
Improved Air Quality
Many air conditioning units come with built-in air filters that remove dust, allergens, and pollutants, making the air in your loft cleaner and healthier to breathe.
04
Energy Efficiency
The latest energy-efficient air conditioning units are designed to run economically, helping to regulate temperature without excessive energy consumption.
Overcoming Property Restrictions
One of the biggest challenges for loft owners is that traditional air conditioning systems require an external condenser unit, which may not be allowed, or practical on some properties.
Planning restrictions, aesthetic concerns, or lack of outdoor space can make it impossible to install a conventional system with an outside condenser box.
If this is your situation then you’ll want to consider our fully internal water cooled air conditioning solution below.
Choosing the Right Loft Air Conditioning Unit
Finding the best loft air conditioning unit depends on several factors, such as the size of your loft space and whether you are allowed an external unit on your property. Your options include:

Option 1 – Fully Internal Water Cooled Air Conditioning
A fully internal air conditioning system is the perfect option when you need effective cooling in your loft but cannot have an external condenser unit. These systems operate entirely internally, offering a discreet and efficient way to cool your loft without altering the exterior of your home.
How does it work?
Our internal air conditioning systems operate in a similar way to conventional split-type air conditioning systems that have an external 'unit'. However, rather than the air conditioner using the outside air to cool the heated gas refrigerant, our system is designed to use water instead – that’s why they are referred to as ‘Water Cooled Air Conditioning systems’.
This means that the system is fully internal as it does not need an outdoor condenser, just a water supply and waste drain to connect to the indoor condenser.
Option 2 – Incognito® Air Conditioning
Ideal for larger lofts, our split systems offer flexible installation options, ensuring even distribution of cool or warm air throughout the space. Plus, with our Incognito® system, there’s no bulky and unsightly external condenser, just a slimline compressor that blends seamlessly into the exterior of your home, whether that’s on a balcony or within your outdoor garden space.
Our Incognito® air conditioning system offers a revolutionary approach to climate control, designed for the discerning homeowner who values both functionality and form. This system integrates seamlessly into your property, preserving the aesthetic integrity of your outdoor space with a customisable, sleek design while ensuring your interiors remain undisturbed by elegant indoor units.
How does it work?
We've split the traditional external condenser into two parts, an external condenser coil and an internal compressor box, to allow the system to seamlessly integrate into your property and occupy minimal space.
Built specifically for apartments with balconies or limited outdoor space, the slimline condenser coil effortlessly fits onto an external wall. At the same time, the internal compressor box maximises the dead space within your property by being fitted in a cupboard or utility room.
