Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Speke
In Speke, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Damp North West weather makes the dehumidifying mode of a modern split system genuinely useful for much of the year.
For Speke houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Speke is about 7 miles from Liverpool and falls within our Merseyside coverage. Coverage includes L24.

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.

The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. We book surveys in Speke at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
