Ducted air conditioning in Clevedon
For a renovation in Clevedon, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Damp South West winters make the dehumidifying side of a heat pump almost as useful as its cooling.
In an older house in Clevedon, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Clevedon is about 31 miles from Taunton and falls within our Somerset coverage. Homes in BS21 are all within our coverage.

Guide prices show VAT 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.
The survey

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.
