Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Henbury
Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling. Design-led units suit Henbury homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view.
In Henbury, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Henbury sits within our Bristol area. Coverage includes BS10.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
