Ducted air conditioning in Guiseley
Cold Yorkshire winters mean sizing for heating first, then checking the summer cooling load. In an older house in Guiseley, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work.
Ducted systems suit Guiseley loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Guiseley is about 9 miles from Leeds and falls within our West Yorkshire coverage. That includes the LS20 postcode district.

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.
