Design-led and low-profile air conditioning in Stourbridge
In Stourbridge, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Inland West Midlands towns can see sharp summer peaks, and the same system doubles as an efficient heater in winter.
Design-led units suit Stourbridge homes with feature walls or open-plan rooms where the unit is always in view. Stourbridge lies roughly 10 miles from Birmingham, and we cover it as part of the West Midlands. Coverage includes DY8.

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 Stourbridge 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.
