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.

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

We book surveys in Farnham at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. On a survey in Farnham the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
