A homeowner in the village of Oakley contacted SmartMist Air Conditioning after converting their loft into a multi-use office and guest bedroom. Due to insulation, sun exposure, and limited ventilation, the space routinely overheated, becoming unusable during warm months. They required a compact, quiet, energy-efficient system suitable for both daytime work and overnight guests. SmartMist delivered a bespoke single-zone solution that provided stable cooling, low noise output, and excellent year-round comfort.

Loft conversions in properties across Oakley often suffer from heat retention, and this home was no exception. The newly finished loft faced several issues:

• Temperature spikes, especially during late afternoon
• Insufficient natural airflow due to roof structure
• Limited wall space for conventional installation
• Requirement for low noise to support work calls and restful sleep

The homeowner needed a cooling system capable of handling variable loads without compromising space or aesthetics.

Following a detailed assessment of the loft’s thermal characteristics, SmartMist recommended installing a compact, single-zone wall-mounted split system engineered for performance in smaller, insulated rooms.

Solution Highlights

• Slimline indoor unit fitted neatly on the gable-end wall
• Ultra-quiet operation (~22 dB) ideal for remote work and guest stays
• High-efficiency inverter outdoor unit for controlled cooling
• Directional airflow vanes to distribute conditioned air evenly throughout the converted loft
• Smart app control, allowing the homeowner to pre-cool the room before use
• Low-visibility pipework and trunking, colour-matched to preserve the design of the conversion

The installation was completed within a single day, and care was taken to protect newly finished surfaces and décor.
