Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Ferndown
Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks. In Ferndown, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box.
For Ferndown houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Our Dorset coverage takes in Ferndown, about 6 miles from Bournemouth. That includes the BH22 postcode district.

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 Ferndown, 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
On a survey in Ferndown the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. We book surveys in Ferndown at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
