Ducted air conditioning in Worcester
Ducted systems suit Worcester loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Away from the coast, West Midlands summers can turn hot quickly, and bedrooms under the roof are the first to suffer.
In an older house in Worcester, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. Worcester is one of the main towns we cover in Worcestershire, alongside Redditch and Kidderminster. We cover WR1 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
For most houses in Worcester, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
We book surveys in Worcester at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. A survey in Worcester usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes.
