Design-led and low-profile air conditioning across Wiltshire
In Swindon, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. For Swindon houses with decorated or panelled walls, a slim unit with concealed pipework keeps the room looking finished. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.

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
Surveys in Wiltshire cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. On a survey in Wiltshire 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.
