Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Wantage
In Wantage, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
Design-led units suit Wantage homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view. We cover Wantage as part of Oxfordshire, roughly 13 miles from Oxford. Coverage includes OX12.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
On a survey in Wantage 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. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
