Ducted air conditioning in Kenilworth
Hot spells in the West Midlands are shorter but intense, especially in loft rooms and rooms with big windows. In an older house in Kenilworth, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work.

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.
