Air Conditioning for Holiday Lodges

Comfortable in summer. Cosy when it's cooler. Designed specifically for your lodge.

Your lodge isn't just a smaller home

A holiday lodge may have less floor area than a typical house, but that doesn't necessarily mean it needs less consideration when it comes to heating and cooling.

Lodges have their own thermal characteristics. Lightweight construction, large areas of glazing and a roof that can be exposed directly to the sun can mean that the temperature inside rises quickly on warm, sunny days. And because a lodge is often a relatively compact space, the effects of heat can be felt throughout the accommodation.

A warm bedroom can make sleeping uncomfortable. An overheated lounge can make relaxing difficult. And on particularly sunny days, opening the windows isn't always enough to bring the temperature back down. Year-round keep the humidity low to prevent mold, mildew, and musty odors.

This is where properly designed air conditioning can make a real difference.

Cooling that understands your lodge

We don't approach a lodge installation in the same way as a conventional house.

Before recommending a system, we look at how your lodge is constructed, how the rooms are laid out, how you use the space and where the main sources of heat gain are.

Things such as:

The size and layout of the lodge
The amount and position of glazing
The orientation of the lodge

Roof exposure and solar gain
Insulation and construction
Open-plan living areas

Bedroom locations
How you use the lodge
Where an indoor and outdoor unit can be positioned

All influence the right solution.

The objective isn't simply to install an air-conditioning unit. It's to create a comfortable indoor environment without compromising the appearance or enjoyment of your lodge.

Why lodges can become surprisingly hot

The roof of a lodge can receive a considerable amount of direct solar radiation.

On a sunny day, the roof and other exposed surfaces absorb heat, while large windows can allow significant solar energy into the living space. Government guidance on overheating identifies solar gains and roof insulation as important factors in managing indoor temperatures.

This is one reason a lodge can feel much hotter inside than you might expect from the outside temperature.

And unlike a traditional house with substantial masonry construction, many lodges have relatively lightweight construction. The thermal behaviour is different, so cooling requirements cannot simply be judged by floor area alone.

Cool when it's hot. Warm when it's not.

Modern air-conditioning systems are air-to-air heat pumps, meaning the same system can provide both cooling and heating.
So your lodge doesn't have to be uncomfortably hot in July or chilly during a spring or autumn break.

Summer

Take the heat out of the lodge and create a comfortable environment for relaxing, eating and sleeping.

Spring & autumn

Take the chill off the air without necessarily having to heat the whole lodge with the main heating system.

All year

With the right system and installation, you have much greater control over the indoor temperature whenever you visit.

Dehumidified

Keep down the humidity of your lodge, prevent mold, mildew, and musty odors.

Better sleep. Better holidays.

Imagine arriving at your lodge on a hot summer afternoon and being able to bring the temperature under control quickly.

No more trying to sleep in a stuffy bedroom.

No more sitting in an overheated lounge waiting for the evening to cool things down.

And when you visit in spring or autumn, you can take the chill off the lodge and settle in comfortably.

It's about making your time away more comfortable.

Designed around your lodge

The right capacity

We consider the characteristics of the lodge rather than sizing a system simply from floor area. Correct sizing is important for comfort, efficiency and consistent temperature control.

The right position

Indoor and outdoor units need to be positioned carefully so that they work effectively while fitting neatly into the lodge and its surroundings.

The right airflow

The layout of a lodge is very different from a typical house. We consider how air will move through the living areas and where cooling or heating is actually needed.

The right controls

Modern systems can give you straightforward control over temperature, modes and operating times, helping you have the lodge at the temperature you want when you want it.

Quiet, discreet and comfortable

Your air conditioning should improve the lodge, not become the focus of it.

We pay attention to the position of indoor and outdoor equipment, pipework and drainage so that the finished installation is neat, discreet and sympathetic to the property.

Why choose Mid Wales Air Conditioning?

We understand lodges

Lodges, holiday homes and static caravans have their own construction, layouts and requirements. We specialise in providing air-conditioning solutions for these spaces.

We look beyond the floor area

A smaller building isn't necessarily a simpler cooling job. Glazing, roof exposure, orientation, insulation and how the space is used all matter.

We design before we install

We consider the property first and the equipment second, helping to ensure the system is properly suited to the space.

We care about the finished installation

The system needs to work exceptionally well, but it should also look right.

One installation. Year-round comfort.

Cooling in summer. Heating when the weather turns cooler. One carefully designed system giving you greater control over your lodge throughout the year.

Peace of mind starts with getting it right

Your lodge is somewhere to relax, escape and enjoy. Your air conditioning should make that experience better, not give you another thing to think about.

At Mid Wales Air Conditioning, we understand the particular challenges of cooling and heating lodges and holiday homes. We'll look at your property, listen to how you use it and recommend a system designed around your needs.

Comfortable when it's hot. Warm when it's cool. Quiet, discreet and designed around your lodge.
