Ducted air conditioning in Street
South West summers are milder on the coast, but sheltered towns and south-facing rooms still overheat, and efficient winter heating matters just as much. In an older house in Street, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work.
For a renovation in Street, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Street is about 17 miles from Taunton and falls within our Somerset coverage. Coverage includes BA16.
Prices in Street
Our South West England guide price for ducted air conditioning is £5,450–£14,950 per system, VAT included. That is close to the UK middle for this kind of work. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. Typical Zoned work (motorised dampers or two units for separate floors or room groups) lands around £7,450–£10,950 in this area.

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
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
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. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
