Ducted air conditioning in Ventnor
Summers in the South East are among the warmest in the country, so cooling often comes first, with efficient winter heating as a bonus. For a renovation in Ventnor, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive.
In an older house in Ventnor, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. We cover Ventnor as part of the Isle of Wight, roughly 8 miles from Newport, Isle of Wight. We cover PO38 and the streets around 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
For most houses in Ventnor, 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
In Ventnor we often start with photos, room measurements and the make of any existing system, so the survey visit is focused and any travel cost can be quoted in writing first. Where travel is involved, we agree the survey arrangements and any travel cost up front. On the day, the engineer measures the rooms, checks the electrics and agrees the outdoor unit position with you.
