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%.
Consent and planning for flats
Leaseholders in Ballymena usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units. In Northern Ireland, we confirm with the council whether an outdoor unit on a block of flats needs permission.
The survey
On a survey in Ballymena 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. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
