Home air conditioning in Plymstock
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. Plymstock sits around 2 miles from Plymouth, inside our Devon area. Homes in PL9 are all within our coverage.
Rooms and systems
Garage gyms and media rooms in Plymstock often face the same problem: thin walls and a lot of heat from people and equipment. If your home in Plymstock is Victorian, Edwardian or older, a console or concealed system often works better than a high wall unit. Garden offices used every day in Plymstock need cooling in summer and efficient heat in winter. Renovations in Plymstock are the easiest jobs to make invisible, because the pipework goes in before the plaster.
Many homes start with one or two rooms. A system can be designed so that more rooms are added later without replacing the outdoor unit. Flats, listed homes and garden rooms each bring their own questions, from freeholder consent to cable routes, and we cover them at survey.
Guide prices in Plymstock
As a guide, homes in Plymstock can expect £2,950–£11,450 for 2–5 rooms for an air-to-air heat pump system, £1,450–£3,450 per system for conservatory air conditioning and £1,350–£5,950 per flat for air conditioning in a flat, VAT included. Installations are fixed in writing after a free survey; visits are priced before we come.
Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently. Leaseholders in Plymstock usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units.
If your home in Plymstock 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.
