Ducted air conditioning in Walsall
In the West Midlands, sizing for winter heating first and then checking summer cooling usually gives the best all-year system. In an older house in Walsall, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work.
Ducted systems suit Walsall loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Walsall sits around 8 miles from Birmingham, inside our West Midlands area. We cover WS1, WS2 and WS5 and the streets around them.

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
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
The survey
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. On a survey in Walsall 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.
