A climate control system 10 arranged to condition air in a room 12 comprises a fireplace 12 with a fire surround 28 having an aperture 26. A space is provided behind the surround for receiving a slave unit of an air conditioning unit which delivers a flow of conditioned air into the room via the aperture. The slave unit is concealed from view by the surround. A means 44 separates a first airflow entering an air inlet of the slave unit of the air conditioner from a second airflow exiting via an air outlet of the slave unit. The means may comprise of resilient deformable strip of tubular foam interposed between one of the inlet or outlet of the slave unit and a periphery of an inlet or outlet aperture of the fireplace. The surround may receive a gas fire or electric fire with flame simulation. The slave unit may draw air in via the fire receiving aperture and expel conditioned air (heated or cooled) into the room via one or more apertures in the fireplace (fig 3) or vice versa (fig 2). The air conditioner may be of the reversible type, include dehumidification and / or air cleaning.
