Your local air conditioning specialists in Hereford
Hereford is our home city. Wye Valley Air Conditioning is based here, and a large share of our work is carried out within the city and its surrounding villages. Whether you live in a Victorian terrace near the cathedral, a newer home on the edge of the city, or you run a shop, office or bar in the centre, we install, service and repair air conditioning that suits the way your building is used.
We are a two-person team: Nick Caton, the owner, and Darran Ruck, our head engineer. That means the people who survey your property are the same people who fit and maintain your system, so nothing gets lost between a salesperson and an installer.
Because we are based in Hereford, the city sits right at the centre of our working area. We do not publish fixed response times, but being local means we can usually arrange surveys, servicing visits and repairs around your diary during our normal working hours, Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday 8am to 12pm.
Hereford has a real mix of buildings. Around the historic centre you will find listed and period properties with thick walls and limited external space, where the position of an outdoor unit and the route of pipework need careful planning. Further out, estates in areas such as Belmont, Holmer and Hampton Dene have more modern homes, where a neat split system in a bedroom or home office is often the simplest answer.
The city also has a busy commercial side: independent shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs, gyms, clinics and business parks such as Rotherwas. We work with all of these, and can provide RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) for commercial jobs, backed by public and employers' liability insurance.

Local Challenges
Common air conditioning challenges in Hereford
Heat build-up in older buildings
Many of Hereford's older homes and offices were built with small windows and little thought for cross-ventilation. In summer, heat builds up in upstairs rooms and stays there overnight. A correctly sized split system gives reliable, quiet cooling without the need to leave windows open onto busy streets.
Limited space for outdoor units
City-centre properties often have small yards, shared walls or conservation considerations. We plan the outdoor unit position and pipe route at the survey stage so the installation is neat, practical and considerate to neighbours.
Warm, humid summer spells
The Wye valley can feel close and humid on still summer days. Modern air conditioning removes moisture as well as heat, so rooms feel fresher and more comfortable, not just cooler.
Busy commercial premises
Shops, kitchens, gyms and server rooms generate their own heat. Undersized or unserviced systems struggle, which can mean uncomfortable staff and customers. We size commercial systems around how the space is really used.
