Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Farnborough
Balcony-mounted outdoor units are often the neatest solution for flats in Farnborough. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
Newer blocks in Farnborough with balconies are often the simplest flats to fit. Farnborough sits around 39 miles from Southampton, inside our Hampshire area. Homes in GU11 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Farnborough
In South East England, our guide range for air conditioning for flats and apartments is £1,645–£7,245 per flat, one room to the whole flat, including VAT. Prices here sit above the national middle, reflecting South East England labour rates and parking and access costs. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. On our South East England figures, the Two rooms option (twin multi-split for living room and main bedroom) is about £3,245–£4,795.
Single room
One wall unit with a balcony outdoor unit.
Two rooms
Twin multi-split for living room and main bedroom.
Whole flat
Three or four rooms on one outdoor unit, concealed routes.
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
For flats in Farnborough, the lease and the freeholder's consent come first. Planning rules for blocks of flats are stricter than for houses, and we check them before quoting. In England, permitted development allows one outdoor unit of up to 0.6 m³ on a block of flats; anything more needs planning permission.
The survey
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. A survey in Farnborough 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.
