Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Exeter
For Exeter houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling.
In Exeter, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Exeter lies roughly 36 miles from Plymouth, and we cover it as part of Devon. We cover EX2 and the streets around them.
Prices in Exeter
In South West England, our guide range for design-led air conditioning is £1,850–£3,650 per room, including VAT. It sits near the middle of UK prices. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. As an example, the Flat-fronted option (flat panel unit in white, black or silver for a living room) would typically be £2,250–£2,950 here.

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
For most houses in Exeter, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
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. Surveys in Exeter cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
