Small unit for a summer house
Simon wanted a tidy unit for his summer house. He wanted to be able to control it from inside his main house so we opted for a Midea model with WiFi.
Air conditioning & air-to-air heat pumps · Horbury · WF4
Horbury is the most architecturally careful job on our patch. Queen Street's Georgian frontages, the streets around John Carr's church and the conservation area behind them all mean the same thing for air conditioning: the system goes in where it cannot be seen from the road.
What we do in Horbury
Split and multi-split systems, sized for the room rather than guessed at.
Reverse-cycle units that heat the room through winter as well as cooling it.
Annual services, repairs, maintenance plans, and decommissioning when you move. F-Gas certified throughout.

Homes in Horbury
The stone-fronted houses along Queen Street, Westfield Road and the lanes off them are handsome and hard to cool. Deep sash windows, heavy stone and high ceilings make for rooms that lag behind the weather — slow to warm in spring, then stubbornly warm for days after a hot spell has broken. A wall or floor-mounted indoor unit works well in them precisely because it does not care about the glazing: it treats the air in the room rather than trying to fix the fabric of the building.
Placement is the real work here. In a conservation area we keep condensers off front elevations entirely, using back yards, side returns, garden-level plinths or flat-roof extensions, and we route pipework internally or in a painted duct that follows a mortar course. Towards Horbury Bridge, Horbury Junction and the Addingford estates the houses are newer and the choices simpler, but the habit stays: the outdoor unit goes where the house does not have to look at it.
Businesses in Horbury
Horbury's trade is small, independent and close together — cafes and delis on Queen Street, hairdressers and beauty rooms, dental and physio practices, solicitors and accountants in converted townhouses. Those are premises where a noisy fan or a unit bolted to a listed frontage would be a genuine problem, so we quote the quiet options properly: low dB outdoor units, night-mode settings, and cassettes where a suspended ceiling gives us somewhere to hide the indoor unit altogether.
Nearby, we also cover Ossett, Netherton, Middlestown, Thornes — and everywhere else inside fifteen miles of Wakefield. See the full list of areas.

“Andy was great from start to finish, from my initial enquiry right through to the installation and aftercare. He was professional, punctual and reasonably priced. He clearly takes pride in the quality of his work and products. Would highly recommend Yorkshire Cool!”

Usually, provided it is not on the principal elevation and is not visible from the street. Listed buildings are a separate matter and need consent. We survey with that in mind and, where there is any doubt, we will show you where Wakefield Council's guidance puts the line before you commit to anything.
Yes, but the sizing matters more than in a modern house — the volume of air is greater and the glazing is single in many cases. We measure the room rather than guessing from floor area, and specify a unit with the capacity to hold temperature on the hottest week rather than one that only just manages.
Yes, along with Addingford and the newer estates towards Netherton. It is the same WF4 patch and the same travel — nothing on this side of Horbury is more than fifteen minutes from our unit.
