Ducted air conditioning in Ledbury
In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system. Ducted systems suit Ledbury loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway.
In an older house in Ledbury, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Our Herefordshire coverage takes in Ledbury, about 12 miles from Hereford. Coverage includes HR8.

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.
