Conservatory air conditioning across Merseyside
Conservatories and orangeries in Liverpool can swing from too hot in July to too cold in January. In Liverpool, the indoor unit usually goes on the original house wall inside the conservatory. Milder summers in the North West mean designing for winter comfort as much as for a heatwave.

Concealed pipework, access equipment for high walls and any electrical work are what push prices towards the upper figure. Typical Popular work (5 kW unit with Wi-Fi for a medium conservatory or orangery) lands around £1,745–£2,445 in this area.

3.5 kW unit for a small lean-to or Edwardian conservatory.

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
We book surveys in Merseyside at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. A survey in Merseyside 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.
