Ducted air conditioning in Heavitree
For a renovation in Heavitree, 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 Heavitree loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Heavitree is about 37 miles from Plymouth and falls within our Devon coverage. Homes in EX2 and EX1 are all within our coverage.

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.
