In the Var, periods of intense heat are getting longer. On the coast as well as on the inland plains of Le Luc or Draguignan, homes poorly protected from the sun become hard to live in during summer.
Summer comfort, a priority in the Var
On the inland plains, the gap between day and night is wider than by the sea, but summer days can be particularly hot. On the coast, it is rather night-time heat and humidity that affect comfort.
Before sizing air conditioning, we look at what can reduce heat at source: roof insulation, shutters, solar protection. Air conditioning is then all the more efficient.
What we check in this area
- Exposure of the rooms and insulation under the roof
- Number of rooms to equip and position of the units
- Condominium or planning rules for the outdoor unit
- Available electrical power
- Possibility of adding solar production

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to air-condition the whole house?
Not necessarily. It is often more relevant to equip bedrooms and the living room, and to improve solar protection in the rest of the home.
Can air conditioning be installed in an old home?
Yes, provided a route for the lines and a suitable position for the outdoor unit can be found.

Financial aid: whether aid exists, its amount and your eligibility depend on your situation (income, status, type of home), on the technical characteristics of the project and on the schemes in force at the time of the study. We check these points with you; no aid is guaranteed in advance.
