Home air conditioning in Falmouth
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. Falmouth sits around 8 miles from Truro, inside our Cornwall area. We cover TR11 and the streets around them.
Rooms and systems
If an older system in your Falmouth home uses R22, replacement is usually the route, because it can no longer be recharged. If an indoor unit in Falmouth drips from the front, a blocked drain tray is often the cause, which a deep clean clears. Every Falmouth quote starts with a room-by-room survey rather than a guess from floor area. Replacements in Falmouth can often reuse an existing bracket and wall opening where they are sound.
Existing systems need care too: an annual service, an occasional deep clean and prompt repairs keep them efficient and quiet. If heating matters as much as cooling, an air-to-air heat pump sized for winter can replace old electric heaters room by room, and still cool in summer.
Guide prices in Falmouth
Typical guide prices in Falmouth, including VAT: air conditioning in a flat at £1,350–£5,950 per flat, conservatory air conditioning at £1,450–£3,450 per system and a bedroom or loft unit at £1,195–£2,950 per room.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission. For flats in Falmouth, the lease and the freeholder's consent come first. Planning rules for blocks of flats are stricter than for houses, and we check them before quoting.
If your home in Falmouth is replacing fossil fuel or electric heating, and no gas, oil or LPG boiler stays in use, an MCS-certified air-to-air heat pump may qualify for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, which the MCS-certified installer claims and deducts from the price.
