Living Room AC
Opting to install air conditioning in your living room brings forth a multitude of benefits that enhance both comfort and lifestyle. First and foremost, it grants you the power to control the indoor climate, ensuring a consistent, pleasant temperature regardless of external weather fluctuations. This promotes not only physical well-being but also mental tranquillity, as a cool and comfortable environment fosters relaxation and productivity. Additionally, air conditioning filters circulate the air, reduce allergens, improve indoor air quality, and help those who struggle to regulate their body temperature.
Factors to Consider when Installing a Living Room AC:
- Room Size and Layout
- Energy Efficiency Rating
- Programmable Thermostats
- Installation and Maintenance
- Economic and Environmental Alignment
Our experts are on hand to help you every step of the way when selecting the best living room AC system for your space.
Conservatories
Whether you want to remain cool in the summer or warm yourself up in winter, a smartly implemented air conditioning system can ensure that your conservatory is enjoyable all year round.
With nearly 30 years of experience, we have been designing and installing temperature and humidity control systems for conservatories across the West Midlands and Wales.
Conservatories, particularly of the older variety, are necessarily the best when it comes to temperature regulation: too hot in summer, but too cold in winter. We work with many of the best AC manufacturers to ensure your conservatory living conditions are as comfortable as possible whilst blending into the existing structural design.
Basements
If you convert your basement into a beautiful, well-furnished living room, you would be remiss to overlook air conditioning and ventilation systems: spending the time and money to convert a basement, only to become uncomfortable and underused, is not an ideal outcome.
Airflow plays an important role in the conditions of your basement and home, preventing excess dust and damp – as well as the health of you and your family.
We understand that the aesthetic design of a basement conversion is important, so we look at designing and implementing logical HVAC solutions that seamlessly integrate into the existing design.
The key reason to install adequate ventilation in your basement is moisture. When left unventilated, excess and aged moisture can become home to mould spores, which can be difficult to get rid of, destroy your basement, spread throughout your home and become harmful to your health.
Wine Cellars
It is vital to maintain a consistent and correct temperature and humidity when storing wine and preserving its quality. Generally, it is advisable to keep the ambient temperature of a wine room or cellar at 12 degrees centigrade, with a humidity level between 65-70%.
As a wine connoisseur, you do not want your stock of wine to spoil or lose its richness and clarity. However, we understand that wine collectors often do not want visible air conditioning heating regulation systems on display; therefore, we attempt to design your wine cellar AC solutions to blend into the existing structures and surroundings.

FAQ

Why is my AC not cooling even though it’s still running?
The most common reason why your air conditioning for the home may have issues with its cooling function is dirty, blocking the air filters or condensers. However, the fault could also come as a result of issues during installation or improper maintenance. If you are experiencing a problem with your domestic AC system, check out our air conditioning repairs service.
How does air conditioning work?
The AC circulates the air in the room to ensure the desired temperature is maintained. It does so by sucking air from the room through vents and absorbing the heat via a refrigerant. The refrigerant transfers the heat out of the house using a compressor. The process is repeated until the thermostat in your air con hits the temperature you have indicated.
Why should I buy a domestic air conditioner?
With house air conditioning from PRA, you can keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter. A high-quality air con does more than just climate control; it also helps clean the air in your home, protecting you from indoor air pollution.
What should I look for when buying a home air conditioner?
What’s the difference between split and ducted systems?
Split systems cool individual rooms with a wall-mounted unit connected to an outdoor compressor; they’re ideal for targeted comfort and energy efficiency. Ducted systems are designed to cool the entire home through hidden ducts, offering discreet, whole-house climate control.
Will I need planning permission for my air conditioning?
In most standard residential properties, planning permission isn’t required. However, it may be necessary in conservation areas, listed buildings, or for certain external unit placements. We’ll advise you during your free survey if any permissions are needed.
Can you install air conditioning in listed buildings or flats?
Yes, we have experience working with listed properties and flats, and we offer low-visibility and space-saving solutions that meet building regulations. We’ll also guide you through any planning requirements where needed.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed within 1–2 days, depending on the system type and property layout. We aim to minimise disruption and leave your space clean and comfortable, ready to use right away.
Can I get air conditioning without an outdoor unit?
Yes, there are indoor-only and through-the-wall systems available for properties where external units are not possible. These are ideal for flats, listed buildings, or areas with planning restrictions. We’ll help you find the best solution for your space.
