Air conditioning in Wells
Installation, servicing, maintenance and repairs in Wells and the surrounding area, for homes and businesses. Based in Wells.
Air conditioning in Wells
Wells is where Somerset Cooling Solutions is based, and the city is where most of the people reading this will find us on the road. It is the smallest city in England, with a cathedral, the Bishop’s Palace, medieval streets and a conservation area that covers most of the centre. Air conditioning in Wells is therefore as much a conservation exercise as an engineering one.
Day to day, we see enquiries from three groups in the city: homeowners in Georgian and Victorian houses and newer estates around the edge, hospitality venues around the Market Place and High Street, and offices and surgeries elsewhere in the city. Because we are based here, travel time is short for surveys, repairs and servicing visits.
What we are asked to install here
- Period houses and flats — Stone-built terraces and converted buildings with thick walls, sash windows and limited external wall space. Pipework is often concealed in voids, and outdoor units are placed at the rear or in yards.
- Cafes, restaurants and pubs — Dining rooms with high occupancy and kitchens next door. Cassettes or ducted units keep the room clear; installation is scheduled around service.
- Guest accommodation — Bed and breakfasts and guest houses near the cathedral need quiet, simple bedroom units that suit period rooms.
- Newer estates and extensions — Modern houses on the edges of Wells, with glazed extensions and loft rooms that overheat in summer.
Installing in a conservation area
Much of central Wells is a conservation area and contains a large number of listed buildings. External units and drilling through historic fabric can need consent, and the siting of an outdoor unit is often visible from a public place or a neighbour’s window. We plan routes with that in mind — rear elevations, ground stands in yards, pipework through existing voids — and can supply drawings and specifications for a consent application. See our listed buildings and planning guide.
Businesses in Wells
Wells has a high proportion of independent businesses in older premises, from restaurants and galleries to professional offices and clinics. Landlords typically need to approve external equipment, so the specification comes with the quote. Ongoing cover is available through planned maintenance.
Electrical works in Wells
Somerset Sparks is also based in Wells. Where an air conditioning installation needs a new circuit, an isolator or distribution board work, that is carried out by the same group, tested and certified. See electrician in Wells.
Electrical workBecause Tom also runs Somerset Sparks, associated electrical work in Wells can be done by the same team where required.
