Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Horfield
In the South West, a system that heats well through damp winters is often as valuable as summer cooling. Balcony-mounted outdoor units are often the neatest solution for flats in Horfield.
Newer blocks in Horfield with balconies are often the simplest flats to fit. We cover Horfield as part of Bristol. We cover BS7 and the streets around them.

One wall unit with a balcony outdoor unit.
Two rooms

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 Horfield usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units. In England, permitted development allows one outdoor unit of up to 0.6 m³ on a block of flats; anything more needs planning permission.
