Garden rooms are lightly built by design. Large glazed doors, a slim roof build-up and timber walls give you the light and the garden view, but very little thermal mass. The room heats up fast when the sun hits it and loses that heat just as fast once it sets.
In a Newcastle summer a south or west-facing garden office can push past 30°C by mid-afternoon. In winter it can sit at 6 or 7°C first thing, which is no good if it’s your workspace, gym or studio. A plug-in heater takes the edge off slowly and costs a fortune to run. A fan just moves warm air around
This is the part most people miss. A modern air conditioning unit is a heat pump. In summer it pulls heat out of the room. In winter it runs in reverse and pumps heat in. So the same unit that keeps your garden office at 21°C in a July heatwave keeps it at 21°C on a frosty January morning.
For a garden room that matters more than for any other room in the house, because a garden room has no radiator and no connection to your central heating. The air con unit becomes the room’s heating and cooling in one. That’s why it’s the single most sensible bit of kit you can put in an outbuilding.
On running cost, a 3.5kW unit draws around 1kW of electricity. At roughly 25p per kWh, an hour of heating or cooling costs about 25p. Heat the room for three hours on a winter morning and you’re looking at around 75p, and only when you’re actually in there.

One of the first things homeowners want to know is the price. We believe in being upfront, so here is what a Bosch Climate 3200i single split system costs, supplied and fully fitted.
Every price above is for one indoor unit and one outdoor unit, installed by our own Gas Safe and F-Gas registered engineers, and backed by the Worcester Bosch manufacturer’s guarantee.
A few things can affect the final figure, such as cooling more than one room, longer pipe runs, or trickier access. That is exactly what the home survey is for. We will confirm the right output for each room, give you a clear written quote, and there is no obligation to go ahead.
Yes. A modern unit is a heat pump, so it heats in winter and cools in summer from the same box. For a garden room with no radiator, it becomes your heating and cooling in one, and it warms the room in minutes rather than the slow burn of a plug-in heater.
Reasonably, because you only heat or cool the room you’re in. A 3.5kW unit draws around 1kW, so about 25p an hour at 25p per kWh. A full working day of gentle heating in winter typically lands a few pounds, far less than electric panel heaters running flat out.
No. The Bosch Climate 7000i runs from 19dB indoors, which is below a whisper. If your garden room is a studio or call space, that’s the model we’d point you to.
Usually, but not always. Garden rooms often run off a single feed from the house. We check this at the survey and tell you honestly if a dedicated electrical spur is needed before we quote.
For most standard garden rooms, no. Listed buildings, some flats and certain conservation areas can be different. We’ll flag anything to check at the survey, and the definitive answer for your property is your local council planning portal.
