Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Boston
In Boston, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Summer peaks in the East Midlands make bedrooms under the roof the hardest rooms to keep comfortable.
For Boston houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. We cover Boston as part of Lincolnshire, roughly 27 miles from Lincoln. Homes in PE21 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Boston
Guide prices around Boston run from £1,795 to £3,495 per room including VAT. It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in the East Midlands tend to be. What moves a quote in Boston up or down is mostly pipe length, how high the outdoor unit goes, and whether a new electrical circuit is needed. Typical Flat-fronted work (flat panel unit in white, black or silver for a living room) lands around £2,145–£2,845 in this area.

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 Boston at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Boston 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.
