Ducted air conditioning in Andover
For a renovation in Andover, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
In an older house in Andover, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Andover sits around 22 miles from Southampton, inside our Hampshire area. Homes in SP10 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Andover
In South East England, our guide range for ducted air conditioning is £6,645–£18,245 per system, including VAT. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting South East England labour rates and parking and access costs. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. As an example, the Zoned option (motorised dampers or two units for separate floors or room groups) would typically be £9,095–£13,345 here.

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
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
