Home air conditioning in Ferndown
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. Ferndown lies roughly 6 miles from Bournemouth, and we cover it as part of Dorset. Homes in BH22 are all within our coverage.
Rooms and systems
Where a house in Ferndown has a bay window, a console can sit where the radiator was. Old storage heaters in Ferndown homes are removed and recycled as part of the replacement. In Ferndown, a side wall of a single-storey extension is usually the neatest place for the indoor unit. In Ferndown, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box.
Design-led units, slim floor consoles and concealed ducted systems are all options where a standard white wall unit would look out of place. For a single hot bedroom or living room, a wall-mounted split is usually the simplest answer. Two to four rooms often suit a multi-split on one outdoor unit, while a ducted system hides everything except the grilles.

Guide prices here, including VAT, start with an air-to-air heat pump system at £2,950–£11,450 for 2–5 rooms; a repair is £150–£1,250 and a multi-split £2,450–£7,750 for 2–4 rooms. Installations are fixed in writing after a free survey; visits are priced before we come.
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 Ferndown, 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.
Ferndown is in the Boiler Upgrade Scheme area, so eligible homes replacing oil, gas, LPG or electric heating may be able to get £2,500 off an air-to-air heat pump, as long as no fossil-fuel boiler stays in use. An MCS-certified installer must claim it; we confirm eligibility, and which installer applies, before you commit.
