Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Bournemouth
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. For bedrooms in Bournemouth, we place the outdoor unit at the back of the house, away from neighbours' windows.
Loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms in Bournemouth gain heat through the roof all day and give it back at night. Bournemouth is one of the main towns we cover in Dorset, alongside Poole and Weymouth. Homes in BH1, BH2, BH7 and BH10 are all within our coverage.

Bedroom and loft air conditioning in Bournemouth typically comes in at £1,195–£2,950 per room including VAT, based on South West England rates. That is broadly in line with national guide prices. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range.

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
At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote. We book surveys in Bournemouth at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
