Conservatory air conditioning

By Airva Editorial Team · Reviewed by Airva Technical Review · Updated 13 July 2026

Conservatories and glazed extensions are wonderful spaces that too often become unusable — stifling in summer and cold in winter. Air conditioning can make them comfortable year-round.

Why glazed rooms are hard to cool

  • Large glass area creates significant solar heat gain in summer.
  • Little thermal mass means temperatures swing quickly.
  • Poor insulation in older conservatories loses heat in winter.

The comfort fix

A reversible system cools the space in summer and provides efficient heating in winter, turning a seasonal room into an everyday one. A single split is often enough; sizing matters because of the heat load, so a survey helps.
