Ducted air conditioning in Farnham
In an older house in Farnham, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
Ducted systems suit Farnham loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Our Surrey coverage takes in Farnham, about 13 miles from Woking. Homes in GU9 are all within our coverage.

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.
