Home air conditioning in Hexham
Cold, windy North East winters favour a well-sized heat pump with an outdoor unit sheltered from the prevailing wind. Hexham is about 26 miles from Blyth and falls within our Northumberland coverage. Coverage includes NE46.
Rooms and systems
Flats and bungalows in Hexham that have never had gas are the usual candidates for replacing storage heaters. Flare joints are a frequent leak point on older split systems, so they are among the first things checked on a visit in Hexham. For self-builds and extensions in Hexham, a standalone design pack can go straight to your builder. Garden offices used every day in Hexham need cooling in summer and efficient heat in winter.
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. 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 in Hexham

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. Flats need more care: get your freeholder's written consent first, and expect the planning rules for a block of flats in Hexham to be stricter than for a house.
Hexham 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.
