Ducted air conditioning in Tiverton
Ducted systems suit Tiverton loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Coastal breezes help, but inland South West towns and glazed rooms still see uncomfortable peaks.
In an older house in Tiverton, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Tiverton sits around 46 miles from Plymouth, inside our Devon area. Coverage includes EX16.

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%.

For most houses in Tiverton, 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.

We book surveys in Tiverton at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
