Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Taunton
Design-led units suit Taunton homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
In Taunton, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. As well as Taunton itself, our Somerset coverage takes in Bath, Weston-super-Mare and the towns around them. We cover TA1 and the streets around them.

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
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. On a survey in Taunton 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.
