Ducted air conditioning in Brislington
For a renovation in Brislington, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
Ducted systems suit Brislington loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Brislington is part of our Bristol coverage. That includes the BS4 postcode district.

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
For most houses in Brislington, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
A survey in Brislington usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. 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.
