Ducted air conditioning across the East Riding of Yorkshire
In an older house in Hull, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Ducted systems suit Hull loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Across Yorkshire, an air-to-air system is a practical way to replace old electric heaters, with cooling for the hottest spells.

It is a touch below the UK middle, as trade rates in Yorkshire and the Humber tend to be.

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
On a survey in the East Riding of Yorkshire 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. A survey in the East Riding of Yorkshire 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.
