Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Exeter
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. For bedrooms in Exeter, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows.
Top-floor flats in Exeter feel the heat most, because the roof sits right above the bedroom. Exeter lies roughly 36 miles from Plymouth, and we cover it as part of Devon. Coverage includes EX2.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
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.
The survey
A survey in Exeter usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. We book surveys in Exeter at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
