Ducted air conditioning in Gosport
Ducted systems suit Gosport loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
In an older house in Gosport, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Gosport sits around 14 miles from Southampton, inside our Hampshire area. We cover PO12 and the streets around them.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Gosport, 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
On a survey in Gosport 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. 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.
